| مستخلص: |
The article focuses on the association between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and cardiovascular risk. It notes that there has been rising concern over the cardiovascular safety profile of NSAIDs as some studies indicate a rise in cardiovascular risk due to the use of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors and nonselective NSAIDs. It is said that NSAIDs tend to increase the risk of fluid retention and edema, aggravating preexisting heart failure. The importance of balancing the risks and benefits of NSAID use is emphasized. |
