Upper GI Disorders: Pathophysiology and Current Therapeutic Approaches.
Symptoms referable to the upper digestive tract are associated with abnormalities of upper gastric neuromuscular function including abnormalities of motility, sensation, and absorption. Of the upper digestive tract, the stomach is of particular importance in its role in symptom generation and is highlighted in this chapter. Gastric symptoms can be associated with alterations in the rates of gastric emptying, impaired accommodation, heightened gastric sensation, or alterations in gastric myoelectrical activity and contractility. Treatment of gastric neuromuscular disorders requires an understanding of pathophysiology of the disorders, the appropriate use and interpretation of diagnostic tests, and the knowledge of effective treatment options. This chapter covers the pathophysiology and current treatment approaches to disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, focusing on classic disorders of the stomach, particularly gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia.
