Rhythmic and Spatial Abnormalities of Gastric Slow Waves in Patients With Functional Dyspepsia

Abstract

Gastric myoelectrical activity is impaired in most patients with FD. The impairment is reflected as a decreased percentage of normal slow waves and an excessive amount of arrhythmia as well as an abnormal spatial distribution of EGG parameters among the 4 channels, suggesting an impaired coordination of gastric slow waves.
