Table 2.

The intraluminal pressure values predicted by the model with the contraction of each individual muscle layer, and both layers of the GEJ. CM (circular muscle), LM (longitudinal muscle),.

LM only CM only Both layers
Basal pressure mmHg (kPa) −4 (−0.49) 15 (2.04) 12 (1.54)
Peak pressure mmHg (kPa) −7 (−0.97) 38 (5.11) 28 (3.78)
