BACKGROUND/AIMS: High-resolution manometry (HRM) with pressure topography is used to subtype @entity1318 , which has therapeutic implications. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics, manometric variables and treatment outcomes among the @entity1318 subtypes based on the HRM findings. METHODS: The @entity1 who underwent HRM at the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, Hyderabad between January 2008 and January 2009 were enrolled. The @entity1 with @entity1318 were categorized into 3 subtypes: type I - @entity1318 with minimum esophageal pressurization, type II - @entity1318 with esophageal compression and @entity1318 with @entity2473 . The clinical and manometric variables and treatment outcomes were compared. RESULTS: Eighty-nine out of the 900 @entity1 who underwent HRM were diagnosed as @entity1318 . Fifty-one @entity1 with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months were included. Types I and II @entity1318 were diagnosed in 24 @entity1 each and 3 @entity1 were diagnosed as @entity1318 . @entity1282 and regurgitation were the main presenting symptoms in @entity1 with types I and II @entity1318 . @entity1 with @entity1318 had high basal lower esophageal sphincter pressure and maximal esophageal pressurization when compared to types I and II. Most @entity1 underwent @entity384 (type I, 22/24; type II, 20/24; type III, 3/3). @entity1 with type II had the best response to @entity384 (18/20, 90.0%) compared to types I (14/22, 63.3%) and III (1/3, 33.3%). CONCLUSIONS: The @entity1318 cardia showed the best response to @entity384 .
