However, the most common aetiology of chest pain in primary care practice is chest wall syn-drome (CWS) [2], a benign source of chest pain localized to the anterior chest wall and caused by a mus-culoskeletal disorder [2,3]. Recent studies have shown that its incidence in primary care ranges from 20.4 % to 46.6 % [2,4-6]. CWS remains a diagnostic challenge [7]. Due to the absence of a consensus for diagnosing CWS, the diagno-sis is usually obtained after the exclusion of other causes of ch...
