[Atypical complaint in myocardial ischaemia: belching].
Orvosi Hetilap 2017 Februrary
While educating non-medical personnel on acute coronary syndrome we often emphasize the importance of early recognition and urgent transfer to acute cardiac center of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Aside from typical symptoms of chest tightness and pain radiating to shoulder, arm and jaw, angina often presents with atypical, non-cardiac complaints. These symptoms, often suggesting gastrointestinal problems, can sometimes mislead even the most experienced physicians. We would like to present the case of an 83-year-old woman with several decades long history of ischaemic heart disease, who recently developed a new anginal symptom: lound, uncontrollable belching. Within the past eight months she was admitted four times with complaints of belching followed by chest pain. Even though initially it was thought as an incidental finding, in all four cases she had proven coronary occlusion requiring cardiac intervention. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(5), 183-186.
