Abstract
In patients with non-cardiac chest pain, ambulatory oesophageal pressure and pH monitoring provide valuable information. In this paper, the global analysis describing severity and pattern of reflux or the mean amplitude or duration of oesophageal contractions, and the symptom analysis of 24-h oesophageal pressure and pH data are reviewed.
