Abstract
Complaints of chest pain are one of the most common reasons that people visit Emergency Departments (EDs). However, more than 50% of patients who present to EDs with chest pain do not have identifiable cardiac disease or other medical conditions. A pilot study was conducted to investigate if using Low Intensity (LI) Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) in the ED at Flinders Medical Centre, South Australia, reduced the reported levels of anxiety and depression, re-presentation rates, and the associated cost of patients presenting to the ED with non-cardiac chest pain.
