No.

Cardio- = heart

Gastro- = stomach

Esophageal = of or pertaining to the esophagus

Edit-

Yes.

The Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) is also referred to as the Cardioesophageal Sphincter and the Gastroesophageal Sphincter. This sphincter separates the esophagus from the stomach and is usually in a closed position. When there is weakness in the sphincter gastric juices may go up into the esophagus resulting in heartburn.
