Concomitant proton-pump inhibitor use, platelet activity, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with prasugrel vs. clopidogrel and managed without revascularization: Insights from the TRILOGY ACS Trial
Conclusions Among ACS patients managed without revascularization, use of PPIs did not result in a differential antiplatelet response between prasugrel vs. clopidogrel but was associated with a lower incidence of MI with prasugrel. These hypothesis-generating findings suggest that factors besides platelet reactivity may underlie the differential risk of MI observed by treatment assignment with PPI use.

Acid suppressants use and risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and older adults
CONCLUSIONS: PPIs were associated with increased risk of ASCVD, particularly amongst participants without indications for medication. Our findings are of important practical significance and suggest that clinicians should be cautious in prophylactic use of PPIs.PMID:36113328 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2022.09.001
