Text: Erythromycin significantly increased a) the amplitude of peristalsis at 5 cm (from 87 + / - 19 mm Hg to 108 + / - 26 mm Hg ; p = 0. 0007), 10 cm (from 72 + / - 24 mm Hg to 81 + / - 26 mm Hg ; p = 0. 016), and 15 cm (from 47 + / - 15 mm Hg to 55 + / - 17 mm Hg ; p = 0. 014) proximal to LES, b) the duration of peristalsis at 5 cm (from 4. 5 + / - 0. 9 s to 5. 7 + / - 1. 2 s ; p < 0. 0001) and 10 cm (from 4. 1 + / - 1 s to 4. 9 + / - 1 s ; p < 0. 0001) proximal to the LES and c) the strength of peristalsis at 5 cm proximal to the LES (from 180 + / - 49 mm Hg x s to 276 + / - 100 mm Hg x s ; p < 0. 0001), and decreased the velocity of peristalsis at distal esophagus (from 4. 1 + / - 1 cm/s to 3. 8 + / - 0. 9 cm/s ; p = 0. 03).
