Implication

May support safe adjunctive acid perfusion testing during effort ECG; leaves open diagnostic utility for oesophageal chest pain pending validation.

Structured PICO

Is the oesophageal acid perfusion test safe and useful for identifying an oesophageal component in patients with chest pain undergoing an effort ECG?

P
Population
67 patients with a case history typical for oesophageal dysfunction, selected from 121 patients referred to a work test on account of chest pain.
I
Intervention
Oesophageal acid perfusion test during continuous ECG monitoring.
O
Outcome
Induction of arrhythmias or ST-T changes, and symptom reproduction (positive related or positive unrelated test).safety

The oesophageal acid perfusion test is a safe and useful adjunct to effort ECG for identifying oesophageal causes of chest pain without inducing cardiac arrhythmias or ischemia.
