Functional Heartburn: Definition and Management Strategies. Summary of Functional Heartburn: Definition and Management Strategies.. Functional heartburn (FH) is a functional gastro-intestinal disorder characterized by symptoms of heartburn not related to gastro-esophageal reflux.
Heartburn, also known as acid indigestion, is a burning sensation in the central chest or upper central abdomen. The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck, throat, or angle of the jaw. Heartburn is usually due to regurgitation of gastric acid into the esophagus and is the major symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease. In about 0.6% of cases it is a symptom of ischemic heart disease.
