3 Figure 2 High-resolution manometry and impedance study. This is a single, normal swallow. Color bar along the left side shows that red depicts higher pressure contraction and blue is low pressure. Liquid swallow is propagated normally from proximal (upper esophageal sphincter [UES]) to distal (lower esophageal sphincter [LES]). Impedance line tracings are overlying the color and show that impedance is decreased as the liquid bolus passes each set of sensors on the catheter. Purple visually depicts the impedance and can be thought of as a column of barium: the swallowed water passes through from proximal to distal and clears.
