Podcast #241: GERD vs. MI

Author: Dave Rosenberg, M.D.

Educational Pearls

  • MI and GERD can present similarly. For example, 47% with angina report increased belching with an anginal attack, and 20% of people with an MI describe symptoms of indigestion that are relieved by antacids.
  • Overall, GERD is more common in those with CAD, so don't be "reassured" by GERD symptoms in the setting of chest pain.
