  • Title: Chest pain of undetermined origin.
    Author: Just RJ, Castell DO.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 1994 Oct; 4(4):731-46. PubMed ID: 7812644.
    Abstract:
    Chest pain of undetermined origin (CPUO) can be a diagnostic dilemma for both the primary care physician and subspecialist. This article focuses on the diagnostic tools used in the evaluation of CPUO, which include: prolonged ambulatory intraesophageal pH monitoring; esophageal manometry with provocative testing; ambulatory intraesophageal pressure monitoring; the role of radiology and endoscopy in the evaluation of chest pain; the role of psychological abnormalities and abnormal nociception in the pathogenesis of chest pain; and the clinical approach and treatment rationale for CPUO.
