Introduction: Antral dysmotility has been shown to be present in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) by using manometry. Strain rate imaging (SRI) is a non-invasive ultrasound modality that enables detailed analysis of antral contraction. Aims: To evaluate antral strain in patients with FD compared to healthy controls (HC), fasting and postprandially and to assess gastric accommodation, gastric emptying and symptom profiles in FD and HC. Materials and methods: In 12 patients with FD and 12 healthy controls (HC), fasting and postprandial antral contractions were analysed using SRI. Gastric accommodation and g…
