High resolution manometric findings in patients with Chagas' disease esophagopathy

To describe high resolution manometry features of a population of symptomatic patients with Chagas' disease esophagopathy (CDE).Sixteen symptomatic dysphagic patients with CDE [mean age (54.81±13.43) years, 10 women] were included in this study. All patients underwent a high resolution manometry.Mean lower esophageal sphincter (LES) extension was (3.02±1.17) cm with a mean basal pressure of (15.25±7.00) mmHg. Residual pressure was (14.31±9.19)...
