Achalasia | ||
Type I | IRP>10 with absent esophageal peristalsis |
|
Type II | IRP≥15 with panesophageal pressurization with ≥20% premature contractions, but no peristaltic propagation |
|
Type III | IRP≥17 with ≥20% premature contractions, but no peristaltic propagation | |
EGJOO | IRP≥15 with some instances of intact peristalsis or weak peristalsis with small breaks such that the criteria for achalasia are not met | |
Jackhammer esophagus | Normal IRP with DCI >8000 | |
EGJOO with Jackhammer | Elevated IRP with DCI>8000 | |
Distal Esophageal Spasm | Normal IRP with ≥20% premature contractions |
