ABSTRACT
[Summary] The mechanisms of gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD) include abnormal antireflux function and esophageal mucosa attacked by regurgitation .Gastroesophageal flap valve ( GEFV) located in the gastroesophageal junction is one mechanism of the antireflux barrier .An increased GEFV grade is associated with an increased incidence of erosive esophagitis and Barrett ’ s epithelium.With abnormal esophageal acid exposure and prevalence of a mechanically defective sphincter , patients usually have severe symptoms and lower efficiency of medication .Therefore , GEFV is valued in the diagnosis and treatment of GERD .This review summarized the relationship between GEFV and GERD .
