Abstract

Patients with chest pain and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) utilize a significant part of our health care resources. Their diagnosis and treatment can often be difficult and time consuming. A simple classification system and stepwise diagnostic approach may help to reduce unnecessary testing. Also, utilization of a chest pain clinic may be beneficial for these patients.
