High-resolution manometry (HRM) is the primary method used to evaluate esophageal
motor function. Displayed and interpreted by esophageal pressure topography (EPT) …

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a highly prevalent disease in industrialized
countries. In the US alone, 40% of the adult population frequently complains of heartburn …

OBJECTIVES: A novel catheter that can measure mucosal admittance (MA), the inverse of
impedance, was developed recently. In this pilot study, we aimed to clarify the usefulness of …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Diagnostic tests for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are
constrained because measurements are made at a single time point, so the long-term effects …

Background High‐resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) allows evaluation of
esophageal bolus retention, flow, and pressurization. We aimed to perform a collaborative …

Introduction. The utilization of high-resolution manometry (HRM) has enhanced our
understanding and assessment of esophageal motor disorders. Moreover, the combination …

AIM: To evaluate the functional aspect of esophageal motility in healthy subjects and in
patients who were referred for esophageal function testing using multichannel intraluminal …

Ambulatory esophageal manometry/pH-metry has been used primarily in patients with chest
pain of presumed esophageal origin, and it is unclear whether the discriminating power of …

Background Combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and manometry provides
simultaneous evaluation of bolus transit and pressure changes within the esophagus. The …

Ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring is an essential method in patients exhibiting signs of
non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) to make an objective diagnosis. Intra-esophageal pH …
