people with cardio-disease often are in pain. Pain is a good symptom something is wrong. it also shortens life all by itself.

I don't know anybody who takes ibuprofen if they don't have enough pain to need it.

This study has identified a problem but have not sorted through the cause and effect in any meaningful way.
