Esophageal spasm may mimic the pain of myocardial ischemia. Patients (42) who were through to have angina, until investigations failed to show any cardiovascular abnormality, were examined for esophgeal disease. Ergometrine provocation during esophgeal manometry caused significant deterioration in esophageal motility, associated with familiar pain, in 24 patients. Ten age-matched controls were examined in a similar way, and ergometrine produced motility changes in 4 and pain in 2. Six volunteers with coronary artery stenosis and exercise-induced angina did not develop esophageal motility changes during the pain. Ergometrine provocation is useful in establishing the diagnosis of esophgeal spasm in patients with recurrent angina-like pain, but no cardia abnormality.
