Abstract
High resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) provides a detailed analysis of esophageal body peristalsis, upper and lower esophageal sphincter relaxations during deglutition. The novel topographic pressure representations makes HRM interpretation more intuitive and brought a new classification system of esophageal motility abnormalities. To date the most important contribution of HRM is in subclassifying achalasia, the HRM-based subclassification allows to predict outcome to therapy.
