Acute myocardial infarction followed by radiofrequency therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease in a man: A case report
Abstract
Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common comorbidity of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Since the distal esophagus and heart share a common afferent vagal supply, the delivery of radiofrequency in the distal esophagus can stimulate the coronary artery and induce acute myocardial infarction in a patient with CAD.
