Incident chest pain occurred in 30.3% of 1,743 asymptomatic healthy men and women who were followed for up to 4 years. Proportions of patients who had coronary artery calcium were similar among those who had no chest pain, noncardiac pain, atypical pain, or cardiac chest pain. Incident chest pain is common and should be examined according to a patient’s pretest probability of developing coronary artery disease, without excessive influence of the presence of coronary artery calcium.
