Kurzfassung

The current literature about IEM is solely based on conventional manometry combined with multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII). Recent innovations in esophageal function testing by manometry catheters combined with impedance (HRIM) combine the beauty of simultaneous reading of esophageal pressure topography with overlapping impedance signals. Using that technical novelty, we aim to re-define IEM using clinical and manometric data of patients seen at the clinic of general-, visceral- and...The current literature about IEM is solely based on conventional manometry combined with multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII). Recent innovations in esophageal function testing by manometry catheters  combined with impedance (HRIM) combine the beauty of simultaneous reading of esophageal pressure topography with overlapping impedance signals. Using that technical novelty, we aim to re-define IEM using clinical and manometric data of patients seen at the clinic of general-, visceral- and transplant surgery compared to a healthy (with regard to upper GI symptoms) study-population.» weiterlesen» einklappen
