[Oesophageal function in patiensts with angina (author's transl)].
Oesophageal functions were measured in 18 patients with angina, 13 healthy volunteers and 29 age-matched patients with reflux disease. Acid clearance was as abnormal in angina patients (88 +/- 46 swallows) as in those with reflux disease (97 +/- 45). The pressure in the lower oesophageal sphincter was low in patients with angina (13 +/- 8 mm Hg). The incidence of hiatal hernia, subjective symptoms during acidification of the oesophagus and results of the reflux provocation test were similar in patients with angina pectoris and healthy controls.
