Not every chest pain is the heart attack. When the organs from the anterior to posterior chest are counted, there are many things which lie in the way. Hence, when there is the chest pain, most of the doctors will not go for the heart attacks only, but there is the wide range to choose from. Among these organs include the esophagus, lungs, pericardium, spinal cord, aorta etc. Hence, the lesion which is causing the chest pain can lie anywhere in these organs. Therefore, unless there are certain indications, doctors are trained to rule out all the possibilities to check out if the patient is having the heart attack or not.

Among the most important causes for the death from the chest pain, heart attack is one of the most common one. Not only the heart attack can be fatal for the patient, however, when it comes to the diagnosing of the “type” of heart attack, there are many options to think about. Unless there is one viable option left, the general rather than the specific treatments are the only options left. Among the major causes of the heart attack that are prevalent in the society, it includes the acute myocardial infarction, stable and unstable angina, pericarditis and many more.

The society of chest pain centers and the American heart association have decided to combine the forces in order to control the deaths that are caused from the chest pain. Not only the chest pain can be fatal, it can further cause the other complications that might have occurred in the body. It includes the stroke, transient ischemic attack, renal hypertension and many more. Therefore, it both these organizations have combined the forces to launch the new mission namely “Mission: Life line.”

Most of the patients who are suffering from the chest pain, there are 30% of the patients who does not receive the reperfusion therapy on the emergency basis. The main aim for the mission life line is that the patients are too treated on the emergency basis no matter how easy the situation is. Not only this, there is also the treatment option that is needed to be consider for these patients. This will make the new doors to open in the general awareness among the people to help the people who are suffering from the acute heart attack.
