Abstract. The aim was to study the frequency and characteristics of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) use in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) hospitalized in emergency cardiology departments.
Material and methods. We examined 190 patients hospitalized in the emergency cardiology department of the Regional clinical hospital of Saratov from March to June 2022. It was the full-design study, questionnaire survey was made for all patients hospitalized during the specified period. The questionnaire contained questions regarding the main and concomitant diseases, NSAIDs intake during the month preceding hospitalization. The study involved 122 male and 68 female patients, and average age of them was 60,75±9,74 years old.
Results. During the month before admission to the emergency department, 52% of patients were using NSAIDs for various reasons. The main reasons for hospitalization in most patients were acute coronary pathology and decompensated heart failure. As the main reasons for NSAIDs intake, patients note musculoskeletal system disorders and headache. The majority of patients (65%) should take NSAIDs more than once a week, 39% of patients – for 3 months. 26% of patients used two or more NSAIDs simultaneously during the last month.
Conclusion. More than half of patients admitted to emergency cardiology departments had taken NSAIDs during the month prior to hospitalization. Most patients were bound to use NSAIDs often, regularly, for a long time. In this regard, active medical tactics is required to identify the fact and clarify the peculiarities of NSAIDs use in this category of patients. The choice of medicines in most patients remains suboptimal, often several of them are combined, and different methods of their administration are taking place. Thus, the situation with NSAIDs use in CVD patients requires additional informing both patients and doctors about the peculiarities of their use in this category of health care consumers.
