Chest Pain: If It Is Not the Heart, What Is It?
2018, Nursing Clinics of North AmericaHeart-focused anxiety and health care seeking in patients with non-cardiac chest pain: A prospective study
2018, General Hospital PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :When interpreting the results from this study, it is necessary to consider that NCCP is one of the most frequent reasons for consulting in emergency departments [3]. This condition can be associated not only with significant disability over time, but can also lead to repeated and unnecessary medical consultations and examinations [5–8,49]. On a societal level, the costs associated with NCCP would be greater than the combined costs associated with angina and myocardial infarction [11].
Chiropractic treatment vs self-management in patients with acute chest pain: A randomized controlled trial of patients without acute coronary syndrome
2012, Journal of Manipulative and Physiological TherapeuticsCitation Excerpt :Recurrent episodes of pain are estimated to affect 50% to 90% of patients with noncardiac chest pain.6,21-24 Continued episodes of pain are associated with disability25,26; work absenteeism21,22,24,25; reduced quality of life in terms of mental health, vitality, depression, and anxiety6,22; as well as increased number of contacts with the overall health care system.23,27 This is comparable with the baseline findings in this study with patients showing poorer health as measured with SF-36 compared with an age-matched background population.
Assessment and Treatment of Psychological Causes of Chest Pain
2010, Medical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Adding to its significance, if left untreated, patients with NCCP often show a chronic course,44 and anxiety is associated with worsening chest pain45 over time.46 For instance, Tew and colleagues46 found that 50% of NCCP patients with comorbid panic disorder visited the emergency department more than once per year for chest pain, and many continue to seek medical treatment.47 Although NCCP patients are likely to receive repeated medical evaluations and prescriptions, often benzodiazepines, they are unlikely to receive psychological screening or assessment.48
