Discoordination of Autonomic Support of Functions in the Pathogenesis Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

摘要

A cross-sectional study performed on a continuous sample of 32 patients (mean age 46.36 +/- 3.31 years) with gastroesophageal reflux disease and excess body weight showed that the disturbance of sympathetic/parasympathetic relationships, disruption of segmental and compensatory increase in the suprasegmental mechanisms of autonomic regulation determines the course of gastroesophageal reflux disease in these patients.
