Abstract
- High-resolution manometry (HRM) is now emerging in the clinical area. High-resolution esophageal manometry with 36 pressure sensors is able to monitor intraluminal pressure from the pharynx to the stomach together with pressure topography plotting. While HRM provide more detailed information regarding esophageal motor function, it is not clear that this improvement can enhance our ability to diagnose and treat patients with various functional esophageal symptoms more effectively. Recently, the HRM Classification Working Group revised the Chicago classification based on a systematic analysis of motility patterns in 75 control subjects and 400 consecutive patients. This review summarize the analysis process of HRM according to the Chicago classification (c 2/2009) of distal esophageal motility disorders and deal with potential clinical usefulness of HRM.
