Acetaminophen Use and Risk of Myocardial Infarction and Stroke in a Hypertensive Cohort Epidemiology/Population
Recent data suggest that self-reported acetaminophen use is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and that acetaminophen causes a modest blood pressure rise. There are no randomized trials or studies using verified prescription data of this relationship.
