  • The characteristics of functional heartburn remain poorly understood. Savarino et al. have now demonstrated that functional heartburn has more in common with functional dyspepsia than with nonerosive reflux disease. This study suggests that there is substantial overlap between functional heartburn and functional dyspepsia, and possibly that these two disorders may actually be one functional esophagogastric disorder.

  • For many years functional heartburn has been linked to gastroesophageal reflux disease, despite a number of characteristics that set this disorder apart. As such little has been researched regarding the physiology and treatment of patients with functional heartburn as a distinct entity. This Viewpoint discusses the evidence for distinguishing this group of patients.

  • Ambulatory 24 h esophageal pH monitoring is an important tool for assessing patients with suspected GERD. Analysis of pH monitoring is currently divided into upright and recumbent periods based on the patient's body position. In this Review, the authors discuss the value of analyzing pH monitoring data based on state of consciousness rather than body position.

  • The main therapeutic strategies for GERD are antireflux surgery and pharmacological intervention. The vast majority of patients with GERD receive or prefer medical over surgical therapy. A recent study compared minimal access surgery with medical management and provided 5-year follow up data.

  • Mucins have an important role in protecting the esophagus from the effects of acids, pepsins and other noxious materials. Mucins are altered in patients with GERD, which could be key to the development of new therapeutics. This Perspectives will cover studies about mucin secretion in the esophagus in health and disease states, and its potential role as a protective substance.

  • Noncardiac chest pain (NCCP) is a common condition; however, there are few treatment options for patients with NCCP. A study has recently investigated the potential benefit of using a serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (venlafaxine) to treat patients with functional chest pain, which is experienced by a subgroup of those with NCCP.
