Figure 1 Pathophysiology of GERD at the oesophagogastric junction and oesophageal body
Figure 1 | Pathophysiology of GERD at the oesophagogastric junction and oesophageal body. The left side describes mechanisms preventing or off-setting gastro-oesophageal reflux, whereas the right side elaborates mechanisms inducing gastro- oesophageal reflux or promoting mucosal damage from reflux. LES, lower oesophageal sphincter; TLESR, transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxation.
