Cardiovascular disease in the haemodialysis population continues to contribute to mortality and morbidity. Disorders of left ventricular geometry and function are highly prevalent and lead to increased mortality in this highly vulnerable population. Left ventricular dysfunction (LVDys), often as a result of hypertension, ischaemic cardiac disease or dilated cardiomyopathy, has not been uniformly defined in the literature making diagnosis and therapy problematic.

Objectives: We conducted this study to determine whether reflux should be a major consideration in the choice of treatment for achalasia patients. Achalasia patients undergoing either pneumatic dilation or transthoracic limited esophagomyotomy were monitored for reflux before and after treatment, for comparison.
Methods: Twenty-four hour ambulatory esophageal pH tests and esophageal manometry were performed on 32 consecutive, untreated achalasia patients.
