Acidity can not cause heart attack-
The symptoms of heartburn are hard to ignore. You've just eaten a big meal and leaned back in your favorite chair. As you begin to relax, your chest starts to hurt so much it feels like it's on fire.
Heartburn is common, and an occasional episode is generally nothing to worry about. However, many people battle heartburn — a burning sensation in the food pipe (esophagus), just below or behind the breastbone — regularly, even daily. Frequent heartburn can be a serious problem, and it deserves medical attention. Frequent or constant heartburn is the most common symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — a disease in which stomach acid or, occasionally, bile flows back (refluxes) into your esophagus.
Most people can manage the discomfort of heartburn with lifestyle modifications and over-the-counter medications. But if heartburn is severe, these remedies may offer only temporary or partial relief.-

No but acidity can give similar symptoms to that of an heart attack. People can mistake one for the other and get into trouble.

Hyperacidity or truncated as acidity generally refers to gastric juice. This often results in heart burn and has nothing to do with the heart.
However, the symptom of heart attack that is known as angina may resemble heart burn.
You may need an electro-cardiogram to set aside the possibility of angina.

Acidity is the first symptom of a serious problem. Both psycologically and physiologically you become tense, pumping more blood, increases load in the heart.
If you want to live a peaceful life, try to make other' lives easier.

To prevent acid indigestion put some lemon juice or cider vinegar in a glass of water and drink it before the meal.

if you mean acidity of blood:yes it causes heart attack because acidity stimulate cardiac muscle to contract more so increase cardiac work and oxygen consumption in coronary insufficiency it causes attack
if you mean acidity as heart burn :there is no relationship between them because this acidity occurs in the lower part of esophagus
