Acid-provoked symptoms were associated with motility changes; hypothesis-generating for causality versus secondary sensory effects in Level 3 data.
Does prolonged acid perfusion alter oesophageal motility in patients experiencing heartburn or angina-like chest pain?
Acid-provoked heartburn and angina-like chest pain are associated with significant oesophageal motility changes, which may be secondary to increased sensory stimulation rather than the primary cause of symptoms.
Kjellén et al. (1985) studied this question.
