Abstract:
After a cardiac source has been excluded, the most likely cause of NCCP is GERD. Clinical history often cannot make the diagnosis of GERD-related NCCP. The PPI test is a simple, highly sensitive, and cost-effective tool that should be the first diagnostic test used in evaluating these patients. Patients with GERD-related NCCP require long-term therapy with a PPI,commonly double the standard dose. The introduction of the wireless pH system and the multi-channel intraluminal impedance will help us to further understand the role of GERD in NCCP. Treatment of NCCP has dramatically improved since the introduction of the PPI class of drugs.However, better therapeutic modalities should be sought out to further improve our current treatment of GERD-related NCCP.
