Its legal double speak.
For chest pain exclude acute coronary syndrome pulmonary embolism and an abdominal aneurysm .
In this case it was not an abdominal aneurysm but a dissecting aortic aneurysm ascending descending or abdominal.
The patient was under care for many hours so a CAT scan chest and abdomen was possible .
To my way of thinking to excluding only an acute heart problem seems a bit too basic .
Also if there are other emergency physicians or health professionals in the ED you can consult with them or look the presentation up .
