“…Patients usually present with an isolated painful swollen costochondral junction. 1 In patients with CF, a spontaneous pneumothorax should also be highly suspected in case of a sudden onset chest pain, especially if they have respiratory distress. Cardiovascular disorders such as pulmonary embolism may also be evocated, particularly in patients with central venous catheter (CVC).…”
Acute chest pain is common in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Here we report the case of an adolescent who suffered acute chest pain in September after an history of acute abdominal pain and fever. The reason for this clinical sceneriao was found to be Coxsackievirus B3, known to be responsible of Bornholm disease, a frequent but under recognized viral myositis. The diagnosis is mainly clinical, but evocating this diagnosis may avoid unnecessary exam.

“…Nowadays most are recorded by automated, digital machines equipped with software able to produce virtually instantaneous ECGs (box 2). Steps involved in ECG processing14Processing of the ECG by the machine occurs in a series of steps
Signal acquisition, including conversion of analogue signal to digital, and filtering.
Data transformation, or preparation of data for further processing, including finding the complexes, classification of complexes into dominant and non-dominant (ectopic) types, and formation of an average or median for each lead.
Waveform recognition which is the process for identification of the onset and offset of diagnostic waves.
Feature extraction which is the measure of amplitudes and intervals.
Diagnostic classification.…”

“…Chest pain is a common paediatric presentation and there is a general consensus that cardiac aetiologies are rarely the cause 14. Yet in the USA, chest pain is the second most common cause for referral to a cardiologist 15.…”
“…Targeted diagnostic testing can then be performed to address concerns identified. The potential causes of chest pain have been reviewed more fully by Ives et al 9 but here we present an approach to assessment.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
