Esophagogastric junction morphology and contractile integral on high-resolution manometry in asymptomatic healthy volunteers: An international multicenter study

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2020
Esophagogastric junction contractile integral (EGJ‐CI) and EGJ morphology are high‐resolution manometry (HRM) metrics that assess EGJ barrier function. Normative data standardized across world regions and HRM manufacturers are limited.
