Gastroenterology & hepatologyThe definition of functional heartburn has been refined over the years.

Functional heartburn is

Light microscopy is useful to better define NERD and functional heartburn
Gut, 2013We read with great interest the well done pathophysiological study by Woodland et al 1 showing that an impaired oesophageal mucosal integrity, expressed by low baseline impedance values, is likely due to repeated acid reflux episodes, which contribute also to slow recovery after this challenge.

Sichuan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Sichuan University. Medical science edition, 2015To determine symptom overlaps between functional heartburn (FH), functional dyspepsia (FD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).One hundred and ten patients with frequent heartburn but no mucosa breakage under endoscopy were enrolled consecutively. They were required to fill out a questionnaire.
