Atherosclerosis is a process with inflammatory features and selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitors may potentially have antiatherogenic effects by virtue of inhibiting inflammation. However, by decreasing vasodilatory and antiaggregatory prostacyclin production, COX-2 antagonists may lead to increased prothrombotic activity. To define the cardiovascular effects of COX-2 inhibitors when used for arthritis and musculoskeletal pain in patients without coronary artery disease, we performed a…

The authors’ analysis shows that even though there are pathophysiological mechanisms which could explain why selective COX-2 inhibition might increase the cardiovascular risk in patients, the actual level of evidence demonstrating that the risk is indeed increased is weak.
