47 Dr Alasdair Patrick Gastroenterologist

48 If it is not the heart.then what is it? Dr Alasdair Patrick Gastroenterologist MacMurray Gastroenterology

49 Overview Background (Non Cardiac Chest Pain) What is it? What could it be? Investigations of NCCP Treatment of NCCP

50 History Huge burden of disease 20 at least per day at MMH Causes a lot of concern for the patient 30% of angiograms are normal RF obesity (OR 3), Fam Hx GERD (OR 2.8) Aspirin use, smoking More common in woman 3:1 Generates a lot of work for cardiologists!

51 Always need to rule out a cardiac cause!! Good cardiac prognosis if normal angiogram Good long term data available Lichtlen et al JACC Observational study 176 patients with normal angio inc LV Typical and atypical symptoms Median follow up 12.4 years ( )

52 Cardiac mortality 0.09%

53 Does seeing a cardiologist help? Robertson et al- Heart May 2007 All comers to a rapid access chest pain clinic

54 Does seeing the cardiologist help? HADS= hospital anxiety/ depression scale, 14 four point questions, over 8 abnormal, HAI= Hospital anxiety inventory, 18 qtn

55 So does NCCP matter? There is a significant burden of disease ½ to 2/3 admitted to ED thought to have NCCP Non cardiac chest pain estimated to cost $300M per year in the US Prognosis of NCCP at 4 years in Australia 90% have ongoing symptoms» Eslick et al NGM 2008

56 Consultations in preceding 12 months 28% work absentee. No difference in CCP vs NCCP Sydney- Eslick, Talley APT 2004

57 Does making a diagnosis help? Yes! 4 year follow up of 104 Spanish patients Structured direct telephone interview Patients who trusted their medical diagnosis had better Quality of life and less health resource use Rox et al: Rev Esp Enferm Dig 2002

58 What have we learnt so far? These patients are younger They are anxious Cardiologists make them worse They have an excellent prognosis But they continue to consult and worry Making a diagnosis helps Improve QALY Reduces costs

59 What is the differential? A definitive diagnosis can be made in up to 85% of patients Vantrappen, Janssens: Eur Heart J 1986 Musculoskeletal 15% Respiratory Psychiatric Estimated 17-43% of NCCP patients Gastroenterology Commonest cause! 30-60% GORD 30% motility disorders George N APT 2016

60 How does GORD cause NCCP? Possible mechanisms GORD induced coronary spasm GORD induced chest wall pain Oesophageal chest pain Chemoreceptors Abnormal reflux Normal reflux with increased sensitivity Mechanoreceptors GORD induced contraction Motility disorders Nutcracker, spasm

61 GORD induced coronary spasm! Coronary blood flow 2 studies shown distal acid infusion can change Q 51 patients post coronary angiogram had endoscopy, 24 hr ph and manometry Underwent Bernstein test with concurrent TOE with LAD perfusion doppler 49% significant decrease flow» They had significant abn ph tests Rosztoczy et al: Int J Cardiol 2007 Chauhan et al: Eur Heart J 1996

62 GORD induced chest wall pain! Sarkar et al; Lancet 356:1154, 2000

63 Oesophageal chest pain-chemoreceptors Normal reflux with increased sensitivity Normal people reflux 48 times per day Sarkar et al; Lancet 356:1154, 2000

64 Oesophageal chest pain-mechanoreceptors Both circular and longitudinal muscle contraction has been shown to cause pain Seen in Motility disorders E.g. Nutcracker oesophagus Balaban et al Gastroent 1999;116:29-37

65 Now what have we learnt? The commonest non cardiac cause of chest pain is the oesophagus Reflux Motility disorders A definitive diagnosis can be made in 85%» Vantrappen, Janssens: Eur Heart J 1986

66 If making a diagnosis helps what investigations should we do? PPI challenge Endoscopy ph studies ph/impedance BRAVO capsule Manometry

67 Meta-analysis of PPI challenge

68 Findings on endoscopy in NCCP Dickman et al: Am J Gastro 2007;102: Faybush, Fass G Clin NA 2004:33; 41-54

69 ph/impedance studies ½ abnormal test with 1/3 symptom correlation Maine et al Gut 2006;55:

70 Value of extended recording time BRAVO Prakash, Clouse Am J Gastro 2006; 101(3):446-52

71 Manometry Dekel et al APT 2003; 18:

72 Treatment of GORD induced NCCP Lifestyle advice Acid suppression Visceral analgesics SSRI and TCA Nissen fundoplication Dissparate results

73 Conclusion NCCP is common and a problem Oesophageal causes are most common Reflux, hypersensitivity, dysmotility Primary care rules of thumb Rule out cardiac cause PPI challenge (70-80%) respond then refer Endoscopy ph study Manometry Making a diagnosis helps Thanks
