Radiating pain: Radiating pain from the neck to the little finger is suggestive of a condition called cervical radiculopathy, affecting the C8 nerve root. It is not likely to be related to the heart, although this is normally addressed first in the ER setting. Diagnosis is sometimes done by nerve conduction or MRI testing.
