Dr. Kenneth Koch-Gastroparesis and GERDTime: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
AGMD is privileged to present our AGMD Conversations with Dr. Kenneth Koch, MD series. Every other month, we talk with Dr. Koch and focus on various topics related to gastroparesis. This month, Dr. Koch will be focusing on Gastroparesis and GERD. There will be ample time for questions towards the end of the program. We hope you will join us! Kenneth L. Koch, MD, is a Professor of Medicine, Section on Gastroenterology & Hepatology, at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. He has a career-long interest in understanding pathophysiological mechanisms of nausea and gastroparesis. Dr. Koch has studied extensively gastric myoelectrical activity (GMA) using serosal electrodes in animals and cutaneous electrodes in the study of normal 3 cpm GMA in humans. These studies have led to understanding gastric dysthymias are present in various nausea syndromes. In addition, a functional obstructive gastroparesis subtype was described that reflects pyloric dysfunction and response to endoscopic therapies with botulinum toxin A injection or balloon dilation. Dr. Koch is a PI in the NIH-sponsored Gastroparesis Clinical Research Consortium. Dr. Koch has written 143 peer-reviewed publications, 43 chapters, and 2 books.
