Oesophageal Pain and Catecholamine Mediated Ecg Changes Mimicking Myocardial Ischaemia

It is known that oesophageal pain can imitate angina and also that non specific ECG changes, probably catecholamine mediated, can be similar to those due to true myocardial ischaemia. Both of these can therefore pose a problem for the diagnosis of angina pain due to cardiac ischaemia. We report a pa...

description It is known that oesophageal pain can imitate angina and also that non specific ECG changes, probably catecholamine mediated, can be similar to those due to true myocardial ischaemia. Both of these can therefore pose a problem for the diagnosis of angina pain due to cardiac ischaemia. We report a patient who had both of these conditions simultaneously, pain on exertion appearing as angina but due to oesophagitis, and "ischaemic" ECG changes due to catecholamines—a double mimic of myocardial ischaemia.
