Brief Summary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition caused by the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus, presenting with typical symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. GERD is a chronic condition that affects quality of life, and patients with this condition are known to have a lower quality of life compared to healthy individuals.
