Impaired gastric myoelectricity in patients with chronic pancreatitis: Role of maldigestion

Figure 1 Impaired EGG parameters between CP patients and controls. A: Impaired EGG parameters of patients with chronic pacreatitis in postprandial power increment and postprandial normal percentage of 2-4 cpm compared with controls; B: Increased levels in postprandial power increment and normal percentage of 2-4 cpm in patients with chronic pancreatitis.

Figure 2 Electrogastrographic (EGG) recording in a patient with chronic pancreatitis. This recording was manifested via the postprandial raw signal, power and running spectrum with A: placebo or B: pancreatic enzyme replacement. The postprandial slow wave became more regular and powerful after enzyme replacement.
