Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs after acute myocardial infarction. DAVIT Study Group. Danish Verapamil Infarction Trial.

ABSTRACT

The effect of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) after acute myocardial infarction was studied in a retrospective study of 88 patients who were receiving regular NSAID treatment at randomization in the Danish Verapamil Infarction Trial II. There were no significant differences in mortality or major events between NSAID-treated patients versus controls (1,687); however, in a multivariate analysis a nonsignificant beneficial trend in favor of NSAIDs was observed.
