Prevalence of classic and non-classic pain sites of coronary artery disease: a cross-sectional study
Non-classic pain is common, affecting 62% of individuals, primarily in the right shoulder, right arm, and back. This type of pain could be associated with smoking and prior heart disease. Misdiagnosing coronary artery disease can have serious consequences, as patients with non-classic symptoms may miss important pre-hospital procedures like ECG.
