Background Classical techniques like endoscopy and esophageal pH-metry are the gold
standard to study patients with symptoms related to gastroesophageal reflux disease …

Background Intra‐oesophageal impedance monitoring can be used to assess the clearance
of a swallowed bolus (oesophageal transit) and to detect gastro‐oesophageal reflux …

The accepted “gold standard” for measuring gastroesophageal reflux (GER), distal
esophageal pH recording, has limited ability to measure nonacid GER, a potentially …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Prolonged monitoring increased our knowledge on
gastroesophageal reflux (GER), and the disease became known as gastroesophageal reflux …

Background Oesophageal clearance has been scarcely studied. Aims Oesophageal
clearance in endoscopy-negative heartburn was assessed to detect differences in bolus …

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common esophageal diseases
in developed countries. It is widely believed that GERD symptoms are caused by acid …

Esophageal baseline impedance (BI) acquired during esophageal contraction (contractile
segment impedance [CSI]) is proposed to improve BI accuracy in gastroesophageal reflux …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Combined pH and impedance monitoring can detect all types of
reflux episodes within the esophageal lumen and the pharynx. We performed a multicenter …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Intraluminal impedance monitoring has given new dimensions to
the diagnosis of reflux disease. However, there is no defined algorithm for evaluating …

Background: Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a highly prevalent disease
caused by the exposure of the esophagus to refluxed gastric contents. Proton pump …
