The Archer Road facility, located within the Shands Critical Care Center Emergency Department at Shands at UF, includes eight beds devoted to patients with low to moderate chest pain or other symptoms of a heart condition and represents a more focused, patient-centered approach to emergency cardiac care. Patients will have immediate, around-the-clock access to UF cardiologists, emergency medicine specialists and specially trained mid-level practitioners in a center that is designed to optimize their evaluation and treatment.
"When people come through the doors of our Chest Pain E.R., they are the center of attention from a highly trained team of professionals dedicated to helping them get well," said David S. Guzick, M.D., Ph.D., UF senior vice president for health affairs and president of the UF&Shands Health System. "Patients with symptoms of a heart attack receive great medical care, with compassion. We understand that they are anxious about their symptoms, so we want to quickly provide answers and put them back on the road to good health."
The goal is to evaluate patients within 10 minutes of their arrival, according to Preeti Jois, M.D., an assistant professor of emergency medicine and the Chest Pain E.R. medical director. An interdisciplinary team of emergency medicine specialists and cardiologists will quickly make a diagnosis and deliver appropriate treatment.

Do you give explanations for the reason of chest pain if it’s not a heart attack

[@anfrale4657]

1. Panic attack
2. Lack of magnesium can cause heart artery pains that can lead to panic attack.
I have had those MANY times and i have gone to ER for nothing pretty much. Everytime they checked and my heart is as healthy as it can be. Workout, eat magnesium and vitamins and try to relax.
