Trasylol and Heart Attacks
A drug often given to heart surgery patients to curtail blood loss has been proven to dangerously increase the risk for heart attack.
A study released in January 2006 in the New England Journal of Medicine showed serious side effects associated with Trasylol, including a 50% increased risk of Trasylol heart attack.
Dr. Dennis Mangano of the Ischemia Research and Education Foundation led the study to determine Trasylol’s heart attack risk.

People who took Trasylol were
50% more likely to suffer a heart attack.
Dr. Dennis Mangano of the Ischemia Research and Education Foundation led the study to determine Trasylol’s heart attack risk.
The results showed a much higher risk of Trasylol heart attack for the
patients who were given Trasylol as compared with those who took
alternatives or no medication at all. Besides a 50% increased risk of
Trasylol heart attack, patients given Trasylol faced a nearly doubled
risk for kidney failure and a substantially higher risk for stoke.
