Admissions for chest pain are increasing
People in Scotland are more likely to be admitted with acute coronary syndrome than before. Examining trends in the population discharge rates in Scotland for acute myocardial infarction, angina, and chest pain, Murphy and colleagues (p 1413) found that the rate of hospitalisation for myocardial infarction declined by 33% between 1990 and 2000. Admissions for angina increased by 79%, for chest pain by 110%, and for acute coronary syndrome by 25%.
