Nowadays, we are facing an uprising number of pediatric patients that are coming to pediatric ambulances and hospital admissions, complaining about chest pain. Accor­ding to the recent data, vast majority of these cases is not caused by a serious medical condition. However, due to the generally well-known fact that chest pain might be caused by a serious medical problem, all patients should be properly managed and eventually examined. As the availibility of examination methodes improves, it becomes a challenge for the medical professionals to choose the proper diagnostic algorhytm.

Keywords: chest pain, etiology, diagnostic methods.
