![]() ![]() High-resolution esophageal manometry (HRM) is a useful method for the assessment of antireflux barrier function and can therefore elucidate the mechanisms responsible for gastroesophageal reflux. Thus, diaphragmatic breathing training (DBT) has the potential to alleviate symptoms in selected patients with GERD. The diaphragm, as a skeletal muscle, is partially under voluntary control and its dysfunction can be improved via breathing exercises. The crural diaphragm is one of the main components of the esophagogastric junction and plays an important role in preventing gastroesophageal reflux. The severity of abnormal reflux burden corresponds to the dysfunction of the antireflux barrier and inability to clear refluxate. The pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is multifactorial. 8 Department of Hepatogastroenterology, Institute for Clinical and Experimental Medicine, IKEM, Prague, Czech Republic.7 Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Evanston, USA.6 Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic.5 Pavel Kolar's Centre of Physical Medicine, Prague, Czech Republic. ![]() 4 First Department of Internal Medicine, Pilsen University Hospital, Charles University in Prague, Alej Svobody 80, Pilsen, 304 06, Czech Republic.3 Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University in Prague and Motol University Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic. 2 Pavel Kolar's Centre of Physical Medicine, Prague, Czech Republic. 1 First Department of Internal Medicine, Pilsen University Hospital, Charles University in Prague, Alej Svobody 80, Pilsen, 304 06, Czech Republic. ![]()
