To such conclusion the Italian scientists.
The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and diclofenac increases the risk of heart failure. To such conclusion scientists from the University of Milan. They analyzed data from 10 million people who took NSAIDs. The average age of the volunteers was 77 years.
The control group included people who did not take NSAIDs. The study showed the NSAIDs increased the risk of hospitalization for heart failure by 19%. However, only about only those volunteers who took these drugs regularly. They were mostly elderly, had health problems.
Experts advise not to use NSAIDs too often. With extreme caution these medications should be taken by people who have heart problems. According to statistics, now heart failure is one of the most common medical problems in the world. But by 2060 the number of elderly people with heart failure have tripled.
