Apr 28th, 2019 - The objectives of this study are to report the responses of emergency department (ED) clinicians regarding the characteristics and management of patients with noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) and to explore clinician experiences with the current stand...

Aug 2nd, 2018 - The etiology of noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) is poorly understood. Some evidence suggests that it may be related to sustained esophageal contractions (SECs) of longitudinal smooth muscle. This study attempts to evaluate whether SECs play a role in...

Mar 9th, 2018 - The aim of our study was to characterize jackhammer esophagus symptoms and their relationship with the distal contractile integral (DCI) and bolus transit. Jackhammer esophagus is defined by the Chicago Classification version 3.0. This diagnosis i...

Jun 19th, 2017 - Although gastroesophageal reflux disease is the main cause of noncardiac chest pain (NCCP), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) benefit a minority of patients. Our prospective study evaluated the effect of PPI and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors...

Jun 19th, 2017 - Key Objectives: To determine the density and activation of esophageal mast cells in non-cardiac chest pain patients. We expect to find mast cell activation, as measured by mast cell count or degranluation, tryptase staining, and histamine release,...
