Abstract in brief

  • This article explains that typical anginal chest pain is mediated by spinal cardiac afferent fibers transmitting signals through pathways involving substances like substance P and glutamate to the brain.
  • Atypical cardiac pain, which is more common in women and may include pain in the back, neck, or jaw, is likely mediated by vagal afferent fibers that relay through the nucleus of the solitary tract and spinal segments C1-C2.
  • Psychological factors and input from other visceral organs can influence cardiac pain perception through various neural pathways, highlighting the complexity of how cardiac pain is generated and experienced.

Can our organs feel pain? Not really... Usually, we feel pain in our organs at different places in the body. Organs send pain signals to the brain along tracks that more sensitive parts of the body use. Find out more about referred pain at: https://t.co/yORqNTAnUJ https://t.co/jezvG3v99m

Do organs feel pain? Our latest video is about referred pain, the pain you feel somewhere on your body when it's actually the organ that's in trouble. Curious? Have a look here: https://t.co/yORqNTAnUJ https://t.co/SAophiFMSO
