Abstract
•
There is a common location of the impaired esophageal bolus transit as detected by multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII).
•
Healthy individuals may have physiological alteration of esophageal bolus transit at the transitioning zone of striated muscles to smooth muscles.
•
The most common levels at which impaired bolus transits occurred in our study were 15 and 20 cm above the GEJ.
•
The impaired bolus transit may affect esophageal emptying and clearance. However, the exact long-term clinical impact of impaired bolus transit is unclear.
