INTRODUCTION—Aero-digestive morbidities are common in congenital heart disease infants and mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesized that adaptive pharyngo-esophageal motility reflexes are different in surgical congenital heart disease infants (S-CHD) vs. nonsurgical congenital heart disease infants (CHD) and healthy controls. METHODS—Abrupt pharyngeal provocation was performed with graded water infusions usin
