Pathophysiology of GERD : Ineffective Esophageal Motility
13 ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY TESTING Occasionally endoscopy and barium esophagogram reports contain information about esophageal motility. Still, esophageal manometry is considered the gold standard in evaluating and quantifying esophageal motility. Esophageal manometry in patients with GERD is recommended to investigate the presence of esophageal motility abnormalities associated with GERD and to lo...
متن کاملEsophageal hypomotility in systemic sclerosis: close relationship with pulmonary involvement.
PURPOSE Esophageal motility was assessed in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) by scintigraphy and compared with (i) extent of scleroderma, (ii) duration of disease, (iii) index of anti-topoisomerase I antibody (topo I), and (iv) pulmonary involvement. METHODS A multiple-swallow test was performed in 47 patients with SSc in the supine position with 99mTc-DTPA. A region of interest on the ...
متن کاملManometric Subtypes of Ineffective Esophageal Motility
OBJECTIVES Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) is characterized by well-defined manometric criteria. However, much variation exists within the diagnosis: Some patients exhibit exactly the required five weak swallows to make the diagnosis. Others show consistently ineffective swallows with total absence of any normal swallow. "We hypothesize" there are two different manometric subtypes of IEM;...
متن کاملDo the Data Support Manometric Subclassifications for Ineffective Esophageal Motility?
We read the article by Hiestand et al. entitled, “Manometric Subtypes of Ineffective Esophageal Motility” with great interest. The authors have presented subclassification for the manometric diagnosis of ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) which is defined as≥50% ineffective swallows. Authors have subclassified IEM into more severe IEM-Persistens (IEM-P) and less severe IEM-Alternans (IEM-A) ...
متن کاملDisorders of gastrointestinal hypomotility
Ingestion and digestion of food as well as expulsion of residual material from our gastrointestinal tract requires normal propulsive, i.e. motor, function. Hypomotility refers to inherited or acquired changes that come with decreased contractile forces or slower transit. It not only often causes symptoms but also may compromise nutritional status or lead to other complications. While severe for...
