Which of the following is the most common presenting symptom of acute coronary syndrome?
Arm pain
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Nausea
Chest pain is the most common presenting symptom of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). While other symptoms like shortness of breath, nausea, and arm pain can occur, chest pain remains the hallmark symptom. It's typically described as a pressure, squeezing, or burning sensation in the chest that may radiate to the jaw, neck, or arms. However, it's important to note that some patients, especially women, elderly, and those with diabetes, may present with atypical symptoms or even without chest pain. This highlights the importance of considering ACS in patients with other concerning symptoms, even in the absence of chest pain.
