[Cardiac decompensation, renal function and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents].
Thanks to a case report of heart failure in an old people with a cardiovascular history treated by the new coxib-inhibitors, we would like to remember and insist to the risk of renal and cardiac complications which appear to be the same as those with the non specific antiinflammatory drugs. Old age, diuretic or converting enzyme inhibitor treatment, heart failure, liver insufficiency, nephrotic syndrome are risk factors for acute renal failure and cardiac failure during such treatment.
