In Southeast Missouri Hospital's Chest Pain Center, a team of physicians experienced in cardiac care works with critical care nurses, emergency technicians and consulting cardiologists to quickly diagnose and manage patients who present with chest pain.
The goal of the Chest Pain Center is to work as rapidly as possible to determine if a patient needs immediate interventional treatment or further evaluation in Southeast's Chest Pain Observation Unit. Patients admitted to our Chest Pain Observation Unit receive additional testing if necessary and close observation for up to 23 hours.

The Chest Pain Center staff works closely with Southeast Missouri Hospital's Regional Heart Center to provide prompt and appropriate response to patients with chest pain.
