Observational studies involving millions of patient records have raised concerns about a potential link between long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and increased cardiovascular risk. This raises the critical question: can omeprazole cause bad circulation?

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) affects a significant portion of patients presenting with angina, with some studies indicating a prevalence of around 41% to 50% in this group [1.11.2, 1.11.3]. So, what drugs are used to treat microvascular dysfunction and its often debilitating symptoms?

Observational studies show that long-term use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks. This has led many to question: **Is Protonix bad for the heart?** The complex relationship between the acid-reducing medication and cardiovascular health requires a careful look at the evidence and potential mechanisms.
