How Do NSAIDs For RA Affect Cardiovascular Health? - Rheumatoid Arthritis Wellness Guide
How Do NSAIDs For RA Affect Cardiovascular Health? Are you curious about how medications like NSAIDs can impact your heart health, especially if you have rheumatoid arthritis? In this video, we explain the effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on cardiovascular well-being. We cover how NSAIDs work by blocking specific enzymes involved in inflammation and pain relief, and how this action can influence blood vessel function and blood clotting. You'll learn about the balance between substances like thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin, and how disrupting this balance can lead to increased blood pressure, fluid retention, and a higher risk of heart attack or stroke. Since rheumatoid arthritis already raises the risk of cardiovascular disease due to chronic inflammation and other factors such as high blood pressure or cholesterol issues, understanding how NSAIDs fit into this picture is essential. We discuss recent findings suggesting that the cardiovascular risks associated with NSAID use in RA patients might differ from the general population, especially with certain drugs like naproxen versus diclofenac or COX-2 inhibitors such as celecoxib. We also highlight the importance of monitoring heart health, using the lowest effective dose, and considering alternative treatments. Whether you are managing RA or caring for someone who is, knowing how NSAIDs can influence your cardiovascular health is vital.
