RESUMEN

La Organización Mundial de la Salud reconoce que la enfermedad cardiovascular es la primera causa de mortalidad en adultos a nivel mundial, y constituye un tercio de todas las causas de muerte. El dolor torácico representa un 6 % de los motivos de visita a los servicios de emergencia. El diagnóstico adecuado de aquellos casos con electrocardiograma normal o no diagnóstico es por tanto esencial, pues permite una adecuada estratificación de riesgo y un tratamiento apropiado. Se examina la utilidad de diferentes técnicas de imagen para estudiar a estos pacientes en el contexto agudo, con énfasis en las técnicas de Cardiología Nuclear. Se presenta la experiencia del Instituto de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular de La Habana, Cuba, con la utilización de estas técnicas en el paciente con dolor torácico agudo.
