Abnormal Pain Processing in Syndrome X

Chest Pain with Normal Coronary Angiograms: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Management

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 213))

  • 114 Accesses

Abstract

Several pathophysiological explanations have been suggested for the pains in patients with angina pectoris despite normal coronary angiograms and without any specific cardiac, esophageal, musculo-skeletal, or psychiatric disorders. There are many clues indicating that this anginal syndrome is in fact many different syndromes giving rise to a similar symptomatology. However, a general abnormality of nociception could incorporate many of the results from previous studies [1].
