Answer:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a pathology that is related by an alteration or functional damage of the sphincter, known as cardias; This sphincter, being incompetent, does not produce a complete closure which will cause the food that reaches the stomach to return to the esophagus, without producing esophagitis, it is usually considered a hereditary disease.
