Acid Reflux and Increased Heart Attack Risk – Video

Acid Reflux: More Than Just Heartburn

Dr. Vikki Petersen discusses the link between acid reflux and heart attack risk, citing a recent study in the American Journal of Medicine. Research suggests a connection between acid reflux and increased risk of myocardial infarction.

The connection between acid reflux and heart health may be related to the cardioesophageal reflex and the negative effects of PPIs on nitric oxide levels, which can increase cardiac risk. Natural solutions may help alleviate reflux symptoms and reduce heart-related complications.
