AIM: Thirty-four patients with esophageal chest pain and intermittent dysphagia were studied by esophageal manometry.
METHODS: The ratio to male to female was 4.67:1. Among 34 patients, gastroscopic abnormality was 26.47%. X-ray abnormality was 17.65%.
RESULTS: The pressure patterns of lower esophageal sphincter (LESP) were hypertensive type 8.82%, hypotensive type 52.94%, and normal type 38.23%. The esophageal motility disorders were hyperkinesia 2.94%, hypokinesia 38.24%, dyskinesia 58.82%.
CONCLUSION: It suggests that LES abnormality and esophageal motility disorders are the contributing factors of esophageal chest pain and intermittent dysphagia. Clinical symptoms can be relieved by antacid and gastrointestinal prokinetic drugs.
