Noncardiac Chest Pain—An Asia-Pacific Survey on the Views of Primary Care Physicians

Abstract: Noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) is common and has a significant impact on health care. Primary care physicians (PCPs)' attitudes, clinical approach, preference of diagnostic tests, referral patterns, and comfort in managing patients with NCCP in the Asia-Pacific region are not known. Consequently, we performed this survey in the Asia-Pacific region. The self-completed questionnaire was sent to PCPs in the Asia-Pacific region. A 28-item questionnaire contained questions on demographic information, characteristics … Show more

We could not find our similar study performed in Korean children, but it was already reported that H. pylori infection have a important role in non-cardiac chest pain from Asia-Pacific survey [ 26 ].…”

“…Some authors have reported a positive association between Hp infection, especially with CagA-positive strains and cardiac syndrome X [19, 20], and acute coronary syndromes [13, 14], although some have not confirmed this [21, 22, 31]. Moreover, the majority of physicians working in the Asia-Pacific region believe that Helicobacter pylori plays a role in NCCP pathogenesis [32]. The eradication of Hp, similarly to my study, was an effective treatment for patients with reflux-related NCCP after a 12-month follow-up [33].…”

“…Guidelines on the management of H. pylori infection in different clinical situations have been published and are being periodically revised[ 3,9,10,11]. Previous studies found that these guidelines were not always followed by physicians [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Knowing the factors that affect their practice on H. pylori infection may facilitate appropriate education among frontline practitioners.…”
