- Heartburn and acid reflux - NHS
Heartburn is a burning feeling in the chest caused by stomach acid travelling up towards the throat (acid reflux) If it keeps happening, it may be called gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)
- Pathophysiology of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease . . . - Nature
In this Review, Argüero and Sifrim describe the core pathophysiological mechanisms involved in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Heart disease and heartburn: Whats the overlap? - Harvard Health
Heart and stomach-related problems can share underlying causes and symptoms Heartburn and heart disease have one big thing in common: their classic symptoms cause discomfort in the center of the chest
- Pathophysiology of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease - PMC
Two hypotheses have been proposed: direct contact of gastric acid with the upper airway and a vago-vagal reflex elicited by acidification of the distal oesophagus, leading to bronchospasm
- Cardiac autonomic dysfunction in patients with gastroesophageal reflux . . .
Reflux disease of the esophagus occasionally leads to release of inflammatory mediators, which may affect the atrial myocardium and other elements of the cardiac conduction pathways
- Heartburn’s Hidden Impact: A Narrative Review Exploring . . .
Refluxed acid through a compromised lower esophageal sphincter can produce burning chest pain that can be misinterpreted by patients and clinicians alike as cardiac chest pain, prompting potentially unnecessary cardiac workups
- Pathophysiology of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Under normal circumstances, reflux into the esophagus is prevented by the anti-reflux barrier, which is a complex anatomic zone made up of multiple components, including the lower esophageal sphincter, the extrinsic crural diaphragm, and the supporting structures of the gastroesophageal flap valve
- GERD vs. Acid Reflux: Understanding GERD Symptoms, Acid Reflux Causes . . .
Key differences between GERD and acid reflux, including GERD symptoms, acid reflux causes, and effective heartburn treatment options for lasting relief
