Rise of the EKG Machines

As for the fifty-fifth entry for this new article series entitled as The Facts About Heartburn, GERD and EKG Machines, we will just continue on discussing here about the things we should know on heartburn, and GERD.

Intestinal metaplasia

As indicated previously, the process of the replacement of one tissue lining by another is called metaplasia. In the stomach and intestines, metaplasia is a common response to certain types of injury. As Henry Appelman, a pathologist, stated: “When the gut is under stress it wants to be something else.” Other examples of metaplasia, in which one lining replaces another, are: (1) in the stomach, wherein chronic inflammation (gastritis) may result in an intestinal lining replacing parts of the normal stomach lining; and (2) in the duodenum (just beyond the stomach), where peptic ulcers occur, the intestinal tissue surrounding the ulcer often transforms into stomach-type tissue.

We believe that the process of metaplasia is a protective or adaptive response to injury of the lining (mucosa). However, the downside of metaplasia is that in Barrett’s esophagus, it carries a small but definite increase in the risk of cancer of the esophagus of the adenocarcinoma type. Now, not all metaplasias have an increased risk of cancer. For example, of the two metaplasias referred to in the previous paragraph, intestinal metaplasia in the stomach can lead to cancer, but gastric metaplasia in the duodenal bulb, the first part of the small intestine, does not.
