Abnormal cerebral processing of oesophageal stimuli in patients with noncardiac chest pain (NCCP)
Abstract
In noncardiac chest pain (NCCP), altered visceral perception may result from abnormal cerebral processing of sensory input rather than abnormalities of afferent pathways. However, the interactions between symptoms, autonomic function and oesophageal stimuli are poorly studied. Oesophageal stimulation elicits reproducible cortical evoked potentials [CEP] and modulates heart rate variability via vagal pathways, as visible on power spectrum …
