Rise of the EKG Machines

As for the fifty-eighth 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.

Barrett’s esophagus is often referred to as short or long-segment Barrett’s, based on the length of the part of the esophagus that is affected. Short segment Barrett’s generally refers to lengths of Barrett’s that are 3 centimeters or less. Long segment Barrett’s refers to Barrett’s lengths of 4 centimeters or more. These designations are arbitrary, and they simply describe the length of the esophagus that is involved with Barrett’s. They have little, if any, clinical significance.

Interestingly enough, once Barrett’s esophagus is diagnosed in a patient, it does not seem to progress further up into the esophagus if the patient is being treated for GERD. Thus, it seems that whatever the length is of the involvement of Barrett’s when the diagnosis is first made, it generally remains the same.
