Cardiac autonomic function and oesophageal acid sensitivity in patients with non-cardiac chest pain.
BACKGROUND Acid reflux can elicit non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP), possibly through altered visceral sensory or autonomic function. The interactions between symptoms, autonomic function, and acid exposure are poorly understood. AIM To examine autonomic function in NCCP patients during exposure to oesophageal acid infusion. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Autonomic activity was assessed using power spect...
متن کاملFrequency of Esophageal Motility Disorders in Patients with Non-Cardiac Chest Pain
Background and purpose: Non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) is a common entity with negative effects on quality of life that places a large financial burden on health systems. This study aimed at investigating esophageal motility disorders in patients with NCCP. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 101 patients with recurrent chest pain without any cardiac disease, atte...
متن کاملComparison of intravenous edrophonium and oesophageal acid perfusion during oesophageal manometry in patients with non-cardiac chest pain
Sixty consecutive patients referred for evaluation of non-cardiac chest pain had oesophageal manometry. Motility was assessed basally, after edrophonium 80 jig/kg iv and during oesophageal perfusion with 0 1 N HCI at 6 and 14 ml/min for eight and seven minutes respectively. A positive response, defined as symptom reproduction with or without abnormal motility, was present in 21 patients (35%) a...
متن کاملInvestigation of non-cardiac chest pain — which oesophageal test?
Five different tests were used to evaluate oesophageal function in 22 patients who presented to a cardiac unit with acute chest pain but whose cardiological investigations were negative. Eight patients had an abnormality on oesophagoscopy, 10 had an abnormal pH monitoring study, six had a positive acid infusion test, 10 had an abnormal manometric study and six had an abnormal oseophageal transi...
متن کاملTemporal relationships between episodes of non-cardiac chest pain and abnormal oesophageal function.
Analysis of the association between symptoms and abnormal oesophageal function is a central part of 24 hour oesophageal pressure and pH recording in patients with non-cardiac chest pain. Such studies have used different time windows including a period after the onset of pain. Since stress and pain can induce oesophageal motor abnormalities and transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations, ...
