A296 A RHYTHMIC MOTOR PATTERN ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH AMPLITUDE PRESSURE WAVES IN HUMAN HIGH-RESOLUTION COLONIC MANOMETRY

High Amplitude Pressure Waves (HAPWs) are the only motor pattern routinely assessed in human colonic manometry. High-Resolution Colonic Manometry is able to provide more information and shows HAPW associated motor patterns that may have clinical relevance. Our aim was to characterize the HAPW associated rhythmic motor pattern, its myogenic basis based on its frequency pattern, its physiological significance and its potential diagnostic value. …
