    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pain Medicine
    • Clinical Physiology

    Background:

    • Angina pectoris is a condition characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart.
    • Accurate assessment of pain perception is crucial for diagnosing and managing cardiac conditions.
    • Current pain assessment methods may have limitations in capturing the nuances of patient-reported pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the perception of pain in patients with angina pectoris.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a bicycle ergometer test in eliciting and measuring pain.
    • To introduce and discuss a novel category rating scale with ratio properties for pain assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Three groups of angina pectoris patients participated in the study.
    • Patients underwent a graded bicycle ergometer test, with workload increasing by 10 watts per minute.
    • Heart rates and pain ratings were recorded at the end of each workload increment.

    Main Results:

    • The study successfully obtained reliable results with diagnostic value.
    • The bicycle ergometer test proved effective in assessing pain perception in this patient cohort.
    • The newly presented rating scale demonstrated potential for improved pain measurement.

    Conclusions:

    • Pain perception can be reliably assessed in angina pectoris patients using standardized exercise testing.
    • The developed category rating scale offers a promising tool for objective pain evaluation.
    • These findings contribute to improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for angina pectoris.
