High-resolution manometry of achalasia subtypes. Type I achalasia is associated with absent peristalsis and minimal esophageal body pressurization. Type II achalasia is associated with panesophageal pressurization related to a compression effect. Type III achalasia has evidence of abnormal contractility (spastic).
