Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid – heartburn drugs – have been linked to increased heart attack risks. These proton pump inhibitor drugs (PPIs) are up to 21% more likely to give their users a heart attack than people who do not use the antacids, according to researchers from Houston (Texas) Methodist and California’s Stanford University. A recent NPR radio report detailed the story on May 11, 2015.
