Abstract:

As a chronic respiratory disease, asthma is a global concern. Chest tightness variant asthma (CTVA) is a type of asthma with chest tightness as the only symptom proposed in 2013, as the concept of CTVA was proposed in a short time and the symptoms were even more atypical, some medical personnel and the general population had insufficient cognition of CTVA, and it was more likely to cause underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis for children whose symptoms were difficult to describe. In order to improve the understanding of CTVA and diagnosis and treatment ability of clinicians, this review summarized the clinical symptoms, pathological mechanism, disease stage, triggering factors, severe attack, complication, auxiliary examination and therapy of CTVA and compared it with typical asthma.
