I heard ibuprofen can harm our heart and may lead to stroke.is it true?

Not ibuprofen: A recent study suggested patients taking Naproxen for an extended period of time might have a greater incidence of a cardiovascular event. Because Naproxen is a traditional NSAID, this might present a potential problem for all NSAIDs, include ibuprofen.
