The vast majority of asymptomatic patients with obesity had normal manometry. LES IRP and DCI were higher than that observed in non-obese cohorts. Additionally, BMI correlated to increased intragastric pressure. These data suggest that normative values in patients with obesity should be adjusted to prevent overdiagnosis of EGJOO or hypercontractile esophagus.
