Title: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease - No Test Required

Another test that may be employed is the barium esophagogram. It is indicated in patients with dysphagia. This test will identify a stricture and diagnose a hiatal hernia. Esophageal manometry evaluates the function of the LES and looks at how effective peristalsis is in the esophagus. It is used to place the probe for 24-hour pH monitoring. ................
