Relationship Between Distension-Contraction Waveforms during Esophageal Peristalsis: Effect of Bolus Volume, Viscosity and Posture.

CONCLUSION: We describe the characteristics of esophageal distension during peristalsis and the relationship between distension contraction in a relatively large cohort of normal subjects. These can be used to compare differences between normal subjects and patients with esophageal motility disorders in future studies. PMID: 32755311 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
