Bravo capsule induction of esophageal hypercontractility and chest pain
2006
Background
The Bravo catheter-free pH monitoring system uses a capsule attached to the esophageal mucosa to detect acid exposure. Placement of the Bravo capsule is associated with intermittent chest pain in 50% of normal volunteers. The authors hypothesized that chest pain in this setting may be attributable to hypertensive esophageal contractions induced by the Bravo capsule.
