They may overlap, but they are not the same. Heartburn is gastric reflux into the esophagus. Gastritis is a generalized term for any type of inflammation ("itis") from the esophagus to the anus (the "gastric" track). There can be any number of causes. "Gastritis" is generalized, heartburn is specific.
