Hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1989
The hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter (LES) (mean LES pressure greater than 45 mm Hg; LES relaxation greater than 75%; normal peristalsis) is a poorly characterized motility disorder associated with chest pain and dysphagia. Therefore, we carried out a multidisciplinary study to assess esophageal pressures and function in 15 symptomatic ...

The lower esophageal sphincter

Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2011
AbstractThe lower esophageal sphincters (LES) together with the crural diaphragm are the major antireflux barriers protecting the esophagus from reflux of gastric content. However, reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus is a normal phenomenon in healthy individuals occurring primarily during episodes of transient lower esophageal sphincter ...

Lower Esophageal Sphincter in Reflux Esophagitis

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1976
Lower esophageal sphincter pressure (LESP) was studied by intraluminal perfusion-manometry in the resting state and after graded intravenous doses of pentagastrin in 12 healthy subjects and 27 patients with reflux esophagitis. These patients were classified as having ulcerative (11) or non-ulcerative esophagitis (16) by histological examination and ...

Lower esophageal sphincter pressure in histologic esophagitis

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1980
The fasting lower esophageal sphincter pressure of 18 normal volunteers was compared to 22 patients with symptoms and objective evidence of gastroesophageal reflux. Lower esophageal sphincter pressure was measured by rapid pull-through using an 8-lumen radially perfused catheter that sampled pressure every45 degrees around the circumference of the ...

The hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter

The American Journal of Surgery, 1996
This study defines the entity of the hypertensive lower esophageal sphincter (HLES) and its treatment, including surgical implications.Esophageal manometry was performed on 1,300 patients. Of these, 53 (4%) had HLES with resting pressure > 26.5 mm Hg, defined as the upper limit of normal resting LES pressure.
