Chest pain is a fairly common complaint that often is the first signal of heart disease.
Chest pain can be misdiagnosed easily, and the correct diagnosis can mean life or death. The programs, located at Seton Medical Center , Brackenridge Hospital and Seton Northwest Hospital , offer patients a comfortable, private treatment area removed from the noise and urgency of an emergency room. Immediate treatment for chest pain also is available at Seton Highland Lakes in Burnet. New technology allows us to perform key blood analyses, EKGs and stress tests in a shorter period of time. This streamlines the process so patients don't have to spend nights in the hospital.
