Abstract
Background Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular events via suppression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-derived prostacyclin (PGI2) formation in heart, vasculature, and kidney. The Prospective Randomized Evaluation of Celecoxib Integrated Safety versus Ibuprofen Or Naproxen (PRECISION) trial and other large clinical studies compared the cardiovascular risk of traditional NSAIDs (i.e. naproxen), which inhibit both COX isozymes, with NSAIDs selective for COX-2 (i.e. celecoxib). However, whether pharmacologically equipotent doses were used - that is, whether a similar degree of COX-2 inhibition was achieved - was not considered. We compared drug target inhibition and blood pressure response to celecoxib at the dose used by most patients in PRECISION with the lowest recommended naproxen dose for osteoarthritis, which is lower than the dose used in PRECISION.
