“…Previous studies that investigated patients with non-cardiac chest pain in secondary care using oesophageal endoscopy and pH monitoring have reported the oesophagus to be a potential origin of non-cardiac chest pain in up to two-thirds of patients, with GORD being the most likely cause. [18][19][20][21] A study in UK primary care reported that IHD was ruled out in half of all patients consulting with chest pain, and that the chest pain had an oesophageal origin in 10% of patients. 22 Similarly, in this study it was found that 10% of patients with non-specific chest pain reported gastrointestinal complaints such as GORD, dyspepsia, or peptic disease during the year preceding the index date, and that 3% of patients with non-specific chest pain had previously received a GORD diagnosis.…”

“…A DRGE é a principal anormalidade identificada em pacientes com DTOI, com prevalência entre 21,6% e 63,5% (17,22,28,32,37,40) , em estudos empregando a pHMP . Neste estudo, a pHMP foi anormal em 35% dos casos e destes, apenas dois pacientes apresentavam esofagite erosiva à EDA, achados semelhantes à experiência nacional, que descreve DRGE em pacientes com DTOI em 39% (40) e 51,4% (44) dos casos.…”

“…GERD may be the cause of symptoms in up to 60% of patients with NCCP [30][31][32]. In addition, antireflux treatment resulted in marked improvement in symptoms of patients with GERD-related NCCP [33][34][35].…”
