Abstract:
Objective To investigate esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) combined with 24-hour pH monitor in detecting endoscopy-negative chest pain of esophageal origin.Methods Test results of esophageal HRM combined with 24-hour pH monitor from 40 patients with recurring chest pain of esophageal origin were retrospectively analyzed.Results In 40 patients,27 (67.5％) were diagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease with an average DeMeester scores at 18.3 ± 3.4,including 19 patients with esophageal body dismotility and 11 with reduced lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) at a mean reduction of 5.7 mm Hg.There were 6 cases (15.0％) of achalasia,in which 1 (2.5％) was type Ⅰ and 5 (12.5％)was type Ⅱ,with an average relaxation ratio of lower esophageal sphincter (RRLES) at (30.1 ± 2.3) ％.There were 4 cases of diffuse esophageal spasm (DES),with an average contraction frontal velocity (CFV) of 12.3 ± 2.4 cm ·s-1 and abnormal contraction waves in esophageal body,spontaneous synchronous contraction waves were observed in 3 of 4 patients LESP increased in 1 patient with DES and remained normal in other 3.RRLES decreased in 2 cases with DES and remained normal in other 2.There were 2 cases (5.0％)of nutcracker esophagus,with an average distal contractile integral at 6745.5 ± 175.2 mm Hg·cm-1 ·s-1 and an average CFV at 4.3 ±0.4 cm·s-1.There was 1 case (2.5％) with absence of esophageal peristalsis,with a low LESP at 2 mmHg and DeMeester scores at 38.3.The patient was finally diagnosed as systemic sclerosis according to esophageal biopsy and other auxiliary examination.Conclusion HRM combined with 24-hour pH monitor is valuable in detecting endoscopy-negative chest pain of esophageal origin.
