NSAID use in diabetes may worsen risk for first HF hospitalization.

The article focuses on the increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in adults with diabetes who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It discusses about certain subgroups like uncontrolled diabetes, patients taking NSAIDs for first time and patients already on renin-angiotensin system inhibitors and diuretics; and closer follow-up, reduced dosage, or other mitigation strategies may be necessary for patients and NSAID-associated HF could have direct cardiac effects.
