The clinical diagnosis of motor disorders of the esophagus leading to chest pain usually lacks documentation by manometry despite the use of sophisticated equipment as well as pharmacologic manipulation. We have developed an ambulatory manometry system that allows us to monitor motility in the esophagus on an outpatient basis for 24 hours. This method seems well tolerated, and tracings obtained are of excellent quality, allowing careful inspection and evaluation of details. Simultaneous 24-hour esophageal pH and surface ECG recordings were also obtained. We believe the technique, when perfected, will significantly enhance the understanding and documentation of the cause of chest pain in patients with motor dysfunction of the esophagus.
尽管使用了精密设备以及药物干预，但导致胸痛的食管运动障碍的临床诊断通常缺乏食管测压的记录。我们开发了一种动态测压系统，可让我们在门诊基础上对食管运动进行24小时监测。这种方法似乎耐受性良好，所获得的记录质量极佳，便于仔细检查和评估细节。同时还获得了24小时食管pH值和体表心电图记录。我们相信，该技术完善后将显著增进对食管运动功能障碍患者胸痛原因的理解和记录。
