Article Synopsis
  • Efficient esophageal clearance plays a critical role in protecting against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and delays in this clearance are common in GERD patients.
  • A study of 74 GERD patients used esophageal transit scans to measure how quickly a 15 ml bolus moved through the esophagus, revealing that 76% had prolonged transit times.
  • The findings indicated a strong correlation between prolonged transit and mucosal lesions, with more severe esophagitis associated with slower transit times, highlighting the diagnostic value of esophageal transit testing for GERD management.
