Cardiac toxicity of coxibs: mechanisms of development and their prevention

Development of highly selective COX-2 inhibitors – coxibs has proved a decreased risk of gastrointestinal toxicity, which was typical for non-selective NSAIDS, according to the evidence-based medicine. But such situation caused an imbalance in the impact on the synthesis of arachidonic acid metaboli...

description Development of highly selective COX-2 inhibitors – coxibs has proved a decreased risk of gastrointestinal toxicity, which was typical for non-selective NSAIDS, according to the evidence-based medicine. But such situation caused an imbalance in the impact on the synthesis of arachidonic acid metabolites: inhibition of COX-2 vasodilatatory prostacyclins and activation of thromboxane synthesis by platelets, which is accompanied by the increase in the frequency of thrombotic complications – myocardial infarctions and strokes. Some meta-analyses have proved this association: the higher is COX-2 inhibitors selectivity – the higher are CV-risks and cardiovascular toxicity of coxibs. Discontinuation or limitation of indications of coxibs, assessment of risk / benefit ratio is recommended in the conditions of comorbidity of CVS pathology, pain syndromes in rheumatology. Drugs of choice are moderately selective COX-2 inhibitors = meloxicam and nimesulide.
