Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a positive correlation between the
ability to sense chest pain in the context of myocardial ischemia and the ability to sense
discomfort associated with the topical application of the TRPV1 agonist capsaicin (the active
ingredient on hot chili peppers).
