Fragmented and failed swallows on esophageal high‐resolution manometry associate with abnormal reflux burden better than weak swallows

Abstract

Association between proportions of hypomotile swallows on esophageal high‐resolution manometry (HRM) and esophageal reflux burden remains incompletely understood. We investigated relationships between hypomotility, acid exposure time (AET), and mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) on ambulatory reflux monitoring.
