NSAIDs After Heart Attack

by Dr. David Brownstein
"...Researchers recently investigated whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) altered the decline in cardiovascular risk after a heart attack, and published their findings on the website of the journal Circulation on September 10, 2012. Of the 99,187 patients who had suffered a heart attack, 43,608 (or 44 percent) were prescribed an NSAID after the heart attack.
During a five-year follow-up period, the researchers found that the use of any NSAID in the years following a heart attack was associated with an increased risk of death. There was a 59 percent increased risk of death in the first year after a heart attack and a 63 percent increased risk of death after five years when patients took an NSAID.
...Of all the NSAIDs studied in this report, naproxen had the lowest cardiovascular risk. This is just one of many studies that demonstrate a link between NSAIDs and increased cardiovascular risks."
Conceptualclarity : This obviously points to the need to pursue safe pain relief options from natural products like fish oil.
