Although it is important to diagnose the cardiac etiology in patients presenting with chest pain, non-cardiac causes of chest pain may also be serious. For many patients with chest pain who enter the emergency department or outpatient clinic, there is a non-cardiovascular cause of the pain (1). Indeed, among patients with chest pain who present for the first time to ambulatory care or the emergency room, only 11-39% are ultimately diagnosed with coronary artery disease (1, 2). A diagnosis of non-cardiovascular chest pain (NCCP) is made primarily from the patient’s history, laboratory findings, and an imaging study. However, patient history and laboratory findings are of limited value for revealing the cause of pain. Thus, imaging findings are the most important factor in evaluating NCCP. The heart CT protocol is becoming the first-line evaluation tool for detecting significant coronary artery stenosis, with a high sensitivity of > 80%, and specificity > 90% (3, 4). In contrast, assessment of NCCP remains a significant challenge, and conventional simple chest radiographs and routine CT are the first-line imaging tools. Reported causes of NCCP include gastro-oesophageal, musculoskeletal, and pulmonary disorders, in addition to pleural illnesses and neurological and psychological problems.
