A recent study of 650,590 patients who treated their arthritis with NSAIDs reports that the use of NSAIDs increases the chance of heart attacks: Indomethacin/Indocin by 71%, Sulindac by 41%, Ibuprofen by 11%, Vioxx by 32% and Celebrex by 9%.  See http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/506604?src=mp for more details.
