CARDIO GASTRIC ASPECIFIC REFLEX (MEAN PRESSURE): OVERT CAD (ADVANCED STAGES)

SUMMARY: THE STOMACH ANIMATION ON THE RIGHT SUMMARIZED THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE STOMACH MOTILITY AND ITS MAIN PARAMETERS OF INTEREST: LATENCY TIME AND DURATION OF THE REFLEX.  UNDER AUSCULTATORY PERCUSSION OF THE STOMACH AND MEAN DIGITAL PRESSURE UPON ANY POINT OF THE PRECORDIUM THE STOMACH DILATES AFTER LESS THAN 6 SECONDS, LATENCY TIME OF THE REFLEX (FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE DIGITAL PRESSURE ON THE PRECORDIUM). THE DURATION OF THE REFLEX IS  7 SECONDS OR MORE. THERE IS TONIC GASTRIC CONTRACTION (CGT); I.E., THE STOMACH CONTRACTS AFTER THE DILATION.
