متن کاملCardiac 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 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...
