Abstract

ANIDO ESCOBAR, VM et al. Estudio por manometría esofágica de pacientes con enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico, en Cuba. Gen [online]. 2011, vol.65, n.3, pp.177-182. ISSN 0016-3503.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease is the result of several situations, with an imbalance between the defensive factors, and the integrity of the antireflux barrier. Diagnosis is made by clinical, endoscopy, histology and esophageal pHmetry. Esophageal manometry allows us to understand the behavior of this barrier and the disease´s development. In this paper, we study the charactequeristics of motility factors, by esophageal manometry, in a group of patients with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.
