Area of Science:

Cardiology

Internal Medicine

Background:

Noncardiac chest pain is often attributed to panic attacks.
Separating medical and psychiatric evaluations may hinder efficient diagnosis.

Observation:

A 56-year-old female with cardiovascular risk factors and symptoms of unstable angina underwent coronary arteriography.
The patient presented with a 20-year history of symptoms suggestive of cardiac pathology and possible psychiatric involvement.

Findings:

Coronary angiography results were complemented by a modified SCID interview.
This integrated diagnostic approach led to a definitive diagnosis.

Implications:

Highlights the importance of a combined medical and psychiatric approach in diagnosing complex chest pain cases.
