Chest pain and dyspnoea can predict major CV events ‘decades in advance’

Symptoms could be a warning sign of both acute and long-term crises, researchers say

The findings, presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2022 in Chicago this week, suggest these symptoms could be viewed as warning signs of both immediate crises and long-term complications.
