摘要: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most frequently used medications. NSAIDs profoundly modify prostaglandin homeostasis through inhibition enzyme, cyclooxygenase (COX), especially COX-2. COX-2 is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes as demonstrated by recent trials using this type drug. This review explores latest available data, including recent, randomized, clinical trials, controversies, and pathophysiology effects COX-inhibition.
