Excerpt

The Chicago classification v4.0 (CC) based on high-resolution manometry (HRM) is the current standard system for defining esophageal peristaltic disorders (EPDs), despite the weaknesses and pitfalls of HRM when applied alone.1 Unfortunately, EPDs defined by HRM do not always correlate with patient-reported symptoms. Although barium esophagram (BE) assessment of esophageal motility is not standardized, it offers a real-time evaluation of both anatomy (e.g., dilation) and function (e.g., contractility) and is a valuable modality for assessing EPDs.2,3 For example, our group recently reported a significant association between bolus transit time on BE in prone position, esophageal peristalsis on HRM, and patient-reported non-obstructive dysphagia.4
