摘要
Selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors were developed as a response to the gastrointestinal toxicity of conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs). However, COX-2 inhibitors decrease vascular prostacyclin (PGI(2)) production and may disrupt the homeostatic mechanisms that limit the effects of platelet activation. Basic and clinical data raise concerns about a potential prothrombotic effect of this class of drugs. The widespread popularity of these agents mandates their prospective evaluation in patients with cardiovascular diseases or who are at risk for cardiovascular events. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.
