2022, Emergency Medicine Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Presentation: Generally speaking, the presentation for ACS in older adults is similar to that in younger patients with a few considerations. The first is that although typical chest pain (chest squeezing, heaviness, pressure) remains the primary presenting symptom in most older adults with ACS, it is less commonly reported than in younger patients.33,34 Atypical chest pain (burning, pleuritic or reproducible) is much more common in older adults.
