The statistical analysis was done estimating the incidence of acute coronary syndrome in relation to exposure time. The risk associated with the consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was made by Poisson regression adjusting for sex and age.Results The connexion between acute coronary syndrome and the use of anti-inflammatory drugs was positive and significant (RR 3.64; 95% CI 2.94 to 4.52; p < 0.001). The cardiovascular risk was higher for alkanones (RR 18; 95% CI 2.53 to 127; p = 0.004), followed by propionoicos (RR 2.58; 95% CI 2.16 to 3.69; p < 0.001), arylacetic (RR 1.88; 95% CI 1.6 to 2.22; p < 0.001) and finally coxib (RR 1.55; 95% CI 1.25 to 1.92; p < 0.001); in other anti-inflammatories, no increased cardiovascular risk was observed.Conclusion The use of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been connected to a higher risk of cardiovascular accidents; these drugs must not be consumed for a long time or at high doses.References and/or AcknowledgementsGarcía Rodríguez LA, González-Pérez A, et al.
