title: How often does the gut cause anginal pain?
abstract: Gastrointestinal disease imitates angina quite commonly and the oesophagus is usually responsible, both in patients presenting as emergencies and also in those  who have been extensively investigated for apparent angina. A questionnaire study of 22 patients  with oesophageal spasm and 15 patients with coronary artery disease failed to show any feature that discriminates reliably between these groups.
