HANI, Albis et al. How to Perform High Resolution Esophageal Manometry and How to Interpret It Using Chicago 3.0. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.4, pp.369-378. ISSN 0120-9957.  https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.181.

The introduction of high resolution esophageal manometry has led to the revelation of previously unidentified patterns of esophageal function. Similarly, this diagnostic method has revealed topographic patterns of esophageal pressure which has led to the development of new tools for analysis and classification of esophageal motility disorders. Currently, the Chicago 3.0 classification has become a tool for analysis of the various esophageal motility disorders. In Colombia, the use of this study is spreading and growing. This article reviews of how to perform and interpret high resolution esophageal manometry and shows how to classify esophageal motility disorders according to the latest update of Chicago 3.0.

Keywords : Esophageal motility disorders; high resolution esophageal manometry; achalasia; Chicago 3.0..
