Safety data from a pooled analysis of 42 randomized, controlled clinical studies suggest that patients treated with rosiglitazone may have an increased risk of myocardial infarction and/or death from heart-related causes. The overall incidence of myocardial ischemia was 1.99% in patients receiving rosiglitazone-containing therapies (n = 8,604) for at least 24 weeks, compared to 1.51% in patients receiving placebo or other antidiabetic therapies (n = 5,633) for a similar duration. The hazard ratio was 1.31 (95% CI, 1.01 to 1.70) for rosiglitazone-treated patients relative to the comparators, which represents a greater than 30% excess risk of myocardial ischemic events in the rosiglitazone group. However, other published and unpublished data from long-term clinical trials of rosiglitazone provide contradictory evidence about the potential risks. Until more data are available, caution may be advisable when rosiglitazone is prescribed to patients with underlying heart disease or a history of myocardial infarction.
