Chest pain and shortness of breath might offer warnings not only of immediate problems but also of future heart problems over 30 years, according to a new study.
Little research has looked at what chest pain might bode for future health even though it accounts for more than 6.5 million visits a year to U.S. hospital emergency departments, according to Dr. Kentaro Ejiri, a postdoctoral fellow with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore.
