Avaliação eletromanométrica do esfíncter superior do esôfago em portadores da forma indeterminada da doença de Chagas

Abstract: RESUMOObjetivou-se avaliar as alterações do esfíncter superior esofágico pela eletromanometria em 37 pacientes portadores da forma clínica indeterminada da doença de Chagas. Foram encontrados 18 (48,6%) pacientes portadores de ondas sincrônicas. A média das pressões máximas do esfíncter foi significativamente maior entre os portadores de ondas sincrônicas. Assim, alguns indivíduos portadores da forma indeterminada da doença de Chagas possuem alterações funcionais caracterizadas pelo aumento da pressão do esfín… Show more

“…All patients exhibited complete UES relaxation and 80 % had a mean UES pressure within normal limits. These results are different from those reported by Crema et al [17], who studied patients with CD-related esophageal disease and found a significant difference in maximum UES pressure between patients with and without asynchronous esophageal waves. Considering that all participants in the present sample showed asynchronous waves on manometric examination, a reduction in UES pressure was expected.…”
