The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence of the acid reflux and its relationship to the oesophageal motility and to clinic symptoms. Recording of oesophageal manometry under basal and stimulating conditions obtained from 30 patients GERD and 10 healthy controls were assessed. Manometric results were analyzed for the occurrence of failed primary peristalsis, for the occurrence of peristaltic dysfunctions or for hypotensive LES pressure. Motor abnormalities found in the body of the oesophagus during simulated oesophageal reflux were described. The AA. found that there is not a sure correlation between the occurrence of peristaltic dysfunctions and hypotensive LES such as was not possible to find a direct relationship between peristaltic disorders and oesophagitis degree or symptoms.

D015154 Esophageal Motility Disorders Disorders affecting the motor function of the UPPER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; LOWER ESOPHAGEAL SPHINCTER; the ESOPHAGUS body, or a combination of these parts. The failure of the sphincters to maintain a tonic pressure may result in gastric reflux of food and acid into the esophagus (GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX). Other disorders include hypermotility (spastic disorders) and markedly increased amplitude in contraction (nutcracker esophagus).
