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 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 کاملVestibular evoked myogenic potentials in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune systemic disease. Most common autoimmune diseases are multisystem disorders that may also present with otological manifestations, and autoimmune inner ear disease accompanied by vestibular dysfunction. This study aimed to compare the vestibular function between RA patients and normal subjects using cervical vestibular evoked myogenic...
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...
