Figure 4: Association of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) distensibility parameters to contractile response to distension among patients with normal motility on high-resolution manometry.

Figure 4:

EGJ-distensibility index (DI) by maximum EGJ diameter on functional luminal imaging probe Panometry are plotted for patients with antegrade contractions in response to distension (normal contractile response, NCR, or borderline diminished contractile response, BDCR) in A and patients with an abnormal contractile response in B: impaired disordered contractile response (IDCR)and absent contractile response (ACR). FLIP Panometry EGJ opening parameters were not applied to patients with spastic-reactive contractile response given the contractile response to distension involving the lower esophageal sphincter, and thus are not displayed here.
