I'm pretty sure this is pleuritic but it sounds like he is saying pruritic.
Has anyone ever heard a doctor describe chest pain as pruritic? The patient had negative enzymes, normal cardiac cath., but atypical chest pain.

It's pleuritic. As relating to pleurisy (an inflammation of the lining of the chest wall). I had it, and it's not fun. Don't wear tight pants or girdles to try to avoid it (it was common in the victorian age due to the wearing of corsets.)

It's probably pleuritic; pruritic is itching. nm
