Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (Acid Reflux)
Description
This template compares a healthy stomach and esophagus, where the lower esophageal sphincter stays closed and gastric contents remain in the stomach, to gastroesophageal reflux disease, where an open LES allows reflux into the esophagus. It lists components of the anti-reflux barrier on the healthy side and mechanisms of acid reflux, including transient LES relaxation, LES hypotension, and hiatal hernia, on the GERD side.
