    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Cardiology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal diseases commonly present with symptoms similar to angina.
    • The esophagus is a frequent source of referred pain mimicking cardiac chest pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify distinguishing features between esophageal spasm and coronary artery disease (CAD).
    • To assess the diagnostic utility of questionnaires in differentiating these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire-based study was conducted.
    • Participants included 22 patients with diagnosed esophageal spasm and 15 patients with confirmed coronary artery disease.

    Main Results:

    • No specific questionnaire feature reliably differentiated patients with esophageal spasm from those with coronary artery disease.

  • Symptom overlap is significant between these two conditions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Distinguishing esophageal spasm from coronary artery disease based on symptoms alone is challenging.
    • Further diagnostic investigations are crucial for accurate diagnosis in patients with chest pain.
