Abstract
In recent years experimental models have provided crucial data for choosing between “intensity” or “specificity” as the property for characterizing the basic afferent code transmitting cardiac nociception: a choice that is fundamental to our interpretation of the mystery that in clinics still envelops the elusive link between myocardial ichemia and pain (12).
