Author’s Reply: Kounis syndrome: A forgotten cause of chest pain/ Cardiac chest pain in children

We thank author of the letter for their valuable comments for our study. In our study, we found that the risks of structural cardiac disease and arrhythmia and the admission with chest pain increase with increasing age in children. In addition, we found a high ratio of cardiac disease in children with chest pain. First reason of this may be the high frequency of some cardiac diseases in children such as MVP or ventricular/supraventricular ectopies. Second, some of our patients were referred patients. Third and the most important reason is the standard evaluation of patients, using our algorithm for chest pain, with standard questions for evaluation and standard diagnostic tests.
