About this document

Hypercontractile Esophagus Overview by SHUBAM is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Hypercontractile Esophagus, also known as Jackhammer Esophagus, is a rare motility disorder characterized by strong, coordinated peristaltic contractions, diagnosed primarily through High-Resolution Manometry (HRM). Clinical features include chest pain, dysphagia, regurgitation, and heartburn, often with an unknown etiology but potentially linked to GERD and stress. Management may involve POEM for refractory cases, and it is crucial to rule out cardiac causes during diagnosis.
