FLIP can detect HH with a substantial agreement with HRM, though esophageal distension with FLIP testing appeared to elicit and/or enlarge a HH in an additional 25% of patients. Although this unique response to esophageal distension may represent a mechanism of dysphagia or susceptibility to reflux, additional study is needed to clarify its significance.
