Determination of the: cause of chest pain is more than just from a blood test. As you can readily have concerning heart disease and normal blood testing. It taking in account someone's history of chest pain, his/her cardiac risk factors, electrocardiograms, blood tests and more. Remember you can have angina and normal troponins. But if you are 23 and having chest pain, it's incredibly rare that you have angina.
