GI101: Diffuse Esophageal Spasm (DES) | A Clinical Medicine Brief

In this episode of GI101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, covers Diffuse Esophageal Spasm (DES), a motility disorder characterized by uncoordinated, non-peristaltic contractions of the esophagus. You’ll learn to recognize hallmark symptoms such as intermittent dysphagia and chest pain that can mimic angina, review diagnostic findings including a “corkscrew” appearance on barium swallow and abnormal manometry patterns, and explore management strategies from lifestyle modification and calcium channel blockers to more advanced interventions.
