inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery because of cardiovascular safety concerns
We hypothesizedthat naproxen would reduce postoperative pain following CABG withoutincreasing complications
Conclusions: Postoperative use of naproxen did not reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation but decreased its duration, in a limited sample of patients after CABG
If you will be undergoing a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG; a type of heart surgery), you should not take naproxen right before or right after the surgery
Despite that decision, cardiologists often recommend naproxen over other NSAIDs, says Harvard professor Dr

Gastrointestinal Risk NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious
Naproxen-containing products such as NAPROSYN, EC-NAPROSYN and ANAPROX DS, and other naproxen products should not be used concomitantly since they all circulate in the plasma as the naproxen anion

If you need to take an NSAID, take the smallest dose for as short a time as
NSAIDs can also cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events, including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal
Naproxen sodium/sumatriptan succinate is contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
Ibuprofen is considered a short-acting NSAID, with a relatively quick onset of action
Methods In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center trial of 161 consecutive patients undergoing CABG surgery, patients received naproxen 275 mg every 12 hours or
Naproxen tablets are contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery
, following coronary artery bypass graft [CABG]), valdecoxib increased the cardiovascular events by 3-fold even in short-term application of only 10 to 14 days
In general: Adults and children 12 years and older: The typical dose is to take 220 mg of naproxen by mouth every 8 to 12 hours while you're having symptoms
Two large, controlled clinical trials of a COX-2 selective NSAID for the treatment of Naproxen can increase your risk of fatal heart attack or stroke, even if you don't have any risk factors
1) NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal
