Chest Pain Atypical Syndrome
Is Non-Cardiac Chest Pain Caused by Sustained Longitudinal Smooth Muscle Contraction?
Non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) is a common disorder whose pathophysiology is poorly understood. Some evidence suggests it may be related to sustained esophageal contractions (SECs) of longitudinal smooth muscle.
