Manometric characteristics of distal antrum, pylorus, and the duodenal bulb. Pylorus is identified by at least two of the four distinct patterns: 1) baseline elevation of ≥3 mmHg (tonic pattern); 2) antral-type phasic pressure activity mixed with duodenal phasic activity (phasic pattern); 3) phasic pattern superimposed on tonic activity (combined tonic-phasic pattern); or 4) by the contractile activity in a sensor proximal to duodenal bulb quiescence.
