June 8, 2009 — One of the first large studies to look at the safety of different nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) specifically in patients with heart disease has found that naproxen appears to have better cardiovascular safety than diclofenac, ibuprofen, and higher doses of rofecoxib (Vioxx, Merck) and celecoxib (Celebrex, Pfizer) [1].

The study, published in the May 2009 issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, was conducted by a group led by Dr Wayne Ray (Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN).
