Failure to respond to physiologic challenge characterizes esophageal motility in erosive gastro‐esophageal reflux disease

Background  Non‐specific esophageal dysmotility with impaired clearance is often present in patients with gastro‐esophageal reflux disease (GERD), especially those with erosive disease; however the physio‐mechanic basis of esophageal dysfunction is not well defined.
