• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a case-control study.Abstract

  Aims: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), particularly selective COX-2 inhibitors, are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events. However, the association between these drugs and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest wth electrocardiogram-documented ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF-OHCA) has not been studied yet

• Risk of acute myocardial infarction during use of individual NSAIDs: A nested case-control study from the SOS project.Abstract

  BACKGROUND: Use of selective COX-2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (coxibs) has been associated with an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the risk of AMI has only been studied for very few NSAIDs that arerequently used. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the risk of AMI for individual NSAIDs
