Hi Scott,

>At age 96, we're not worried about theoretical long-term effects.

I was thinking about the short term effects mainly. Celecoxib might increase the risk of hyperkalemia with ARBs (or ACE inhibitors). Traditional NSAIDs (such as Advil) produce similar effects.

The hemodynamic effects of opioids are generally beneficial in heart failure. Acetaminophen/opioid combinations can often provide useful pain relief in osteoarthritis

>I am disappointed that her cardiologist defines HF as being congestive.

I was under the impression that the term 'congestive heart failure' was obsolete. Cardiologists don't seem to use it much anymore.

Kind regards

Ed
