Cardiovascular and noncardiovascular conditions are commonly encountered in the
emergency department. While the majority of patients have underlying
cardiovascular aetiologies, such as acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart
failure, aortic dissection and pulmonary embolism, a small subset of patients
have underlying noncardiovascular conditions, although they present with similar
symptoms of chest pain, dyspnoea, cough, haemoptysis and haematemesis. This
article aims to describe the imaging findings in common noncardiovascular
conditions of the chest that are frequently encountered in the emergency
department, with a review of the existing literature.
