Endoscopic-Guided Measurement of Mucosal Admittance can Discriminate Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease from Functional Heartburn
OBJECTIVES A novel catheter that can measure mucosal admittance (MA), the inverse of impedance, was developed recently. In this pilot study, we aimed to clarify the usefulness of measuring MA for diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). METHODS We conducted two prospective studies. In the first study, esophageal MA was evaluated in 120 participants (24 with erosive esophagitis, 82 w...
متن کاملRelationship between esomeprazole dose and timing to heartburn resolution in selected patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease
OBJECTIVE To increase response rates to therapy by increasing the dosage of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) whose symptoms are predominantly associated with acid reflux. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized, proof-of-concept study, 369 patients with GERD and moderate heartburn lasting ≥three days/week, a history of response to an...
متن کاملFunctional heartburn and non-erosive reflux disease.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common disorder in Western countries. For many years our attention has been focused on patients with erosive esophagitis, but in recent times we have realized that endoscopy-negative reflux disease is the most common presentation of this illness, affecting up to 70% of these individuals. Patients with the non-erosive form (NERD) are a heterogeneous gr...
متن کاملGastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Diagnosis History. If classic symptoms of heartburn and acid regurgitation dominate a patient’s history, then they can help establish the diagnosis of GERD with sufficiently high specificity, although sensitivity remains low compared to 24-hour pH monitoring. The presence of atypical symptoms (Table 1), although common, cannot sufficiently support the clinical diagnosis of GERD [B*]. Testing....
