Dysphagia severity is related to the amplitude of distal contractile integral in patients with Jackhammer esophagus

Dysphagia and non‐cardiac chest pain are common symptoms associated with a novel hypercontractile disorder, namely Jackhammer esophagus (JE). The aim of this study was to explore these symptoms in patients with JE and to elucidate associations with disease defining metrics, crucial for subsequent therapies.
