Quantifying 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 es...
