High Resolution Esophageal Pressure Topography (HREPT) in Asymptomatic Volunteers
نویسنده
چکیده
Results: Twenty HV were included, 14 women, mean age 34 (24-55) years. The pressures in the UES and LES pressures, IRP are lower with the perfusion system (p 0.0064, 0.008 and 0.0061, respectively) and have a faster peristalsis registration with the solid system, (DL p 0.0002). With the CC 2012, the solid state system presented a higher frequency of volunteers with hypotensive peristalsis (p 0.0143).

Impact of high-resolution manometry on achalasia diagnosis and treatment
Achalasia is a primary neurodegenerative disorder of the esophagus characterized by loss of function of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and of esophageal peristalsis, which causes symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation, weight loss, and chest pain. Esophageal manometry is the gold standard for the diagnosis of achalasia. The typical manometric features are incomplete relaxation of a fre...
متن کاملHow to Perform and Interpret High-resolution Esophageal Manometry
......................................... Received: 03-07-14 Accepted: 02-02-15 Abstract The introduction of high-resolution esophageal manometry allowed physicians to identify both previously unidentified normal esophageal functions and patterns and various abnormalities. The creation of new charts of pressure patterns and the topography of esophageal pressure has led to the development of new...

متن کاملEsophageal hypertensive peristaltic disorders.
BACKGROUND Esophageal motility abnormalities include a series of manometric findings that differ to a significant degree from findings in normal, asymptomatic volunteers. METHODS Current review summarizes conventional and high-resolution esophageal manometry criteria used to define and characterize esophageal hypertensive motility abnormalities. KEY RESULTS In the conventional esophageal ma...
متن کاملQuantifying esophageal peristalsis with high-resolution manometry: a study of 75 asymptomatic volunteers.
The vastly enhanced spatial resolution of high-resolution manometry (HRM) makes it possible to simultaneous monitor contractile activity over the entire length of the esophagus. The aim of this investigation was to define the essential features of esophageal peristalsis in novel HRM paradigms and establish their normative values. Ten 5-ml water swallows were recorded in each of 75 asymptomatic ...
