NSAIDs and cardiac arrest Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use is associated with increased risk of Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest: A nationwide Case-Time-Control study
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most commonly used drugs worldwide. However, during the last 10 years, accumulating evidence of an increased cardiovascular risk associated with use of NSAIDs has emerged, and NSAIDs have been linked to several cardiovascular adverse events, such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke.
