Esophageal biomechanics assessed by impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP TM) in healthy subjects and in patients with eosinophilic esophagitis. Normality values.

esophago-gastric junction distensibility index, distensibility plateau, and diameter values were higher in controls than in patients, although 6 weeks of treatment seems a short period for observing significant changes in esophageal biomechanics. Repetitive antegrade contractions are the predominant pattern in healthy subjects and in eosinophilic esophagitis. We provide normality values for esophageal biomechanics as measured by impedance planimetry in our setting.
