Ambulatory high‐resolution manometry, lower esophageal sphincter lift and transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation [PDF]
Neurogastroenterology & Motility, 2011 AbstractBackground Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) lift seen on high‐resolution manometry (HRM) is a possible surrogate marker of the longitudinal muscle contraction of the esophagus. Recent studies suggest that longitudinal muscle contraction of the esophagus induces LES relaxation.Aim Our goal was to determine: (i) the feasibility of prolonged ...

Quantitation of Lower Esophageal Sphincter Competence
Gastroenterology, 1967 Summary Normal subjects and patients with incompetent gastroesophageal sphincters have been studied by open-tipped catheter techniques. The two groups could not be separated on the basis of pressures measured by conventional methods. The best explanation for this failure is that the sphincters sealed the recording orifice.
