The vaginal-ring contraceptive known as NuvaRing has an increased risk of heart attack compared to older oral contraceptives such as the Pill. A heart attack ("myocardial infarction") can be caused by a stroke, a medical event that is also a potential side effect of NuvaRing.

Increased Risk of Stroke and Heart Attack of NuvaRing

A NuvaRing delivers two hormones to the body of the woman who is wearing it — etonogestrel and estrogen. The etonogestrel is associated with a doubled risk of stroke. Most NuvaRing strokes occur because of a blood clot forming in a blood vessel. If the clot travels to the heart, it can easily block the flow of blood to the heart, producing a heart attack.

NuvaRing is Damaging the Heart's Muscle Tissue

The interrupted blood flow can damage or even destroy the muscle tissue in the heart. This is the "infarction," or death of tissue. "Myocardial" refers to heart muscle. A NuvaRing myocardial infarction, or heart attack, can certainly be fatal; it can also cause a survivor permanent damage and disability. These are terrible outcomes for a woman who was simply using a contraceptive.

Additional NuvaRing Heart Attack Risks

The risk of a NuvaRing heart attack is even greater if the woman using the NuvaRing has one or more of the following risk factors:

• smoking
• age 35 or older
• a family or personal history of cardiovascular disease
• a family or personal history of blood clots
• a family or personal history of liver, breast, or uterine cancer

NuvaRing Heart Attack Lawsuits

Many women have suffered a stroke or heart attack after using a NuvaRing. There are so many NuvaRing lawsuits that all of the federal legal claims regarding NuvaRing serious side effects have been "consolidated" (heard in court together) before a single federal judge.

NuvaRing Heart Attack Symptoms

Some heart attacks are mild and not recognized by the individual. In addition, the heart attack symptoms or signs experienced by a woman may be less noticeable than those in men. Here are some of the typical symptoms of a heart attack:

• abdominal pain or "heartburn"
• clammy skin
• fainting
• lightheadedness, dizziness
• nausea, vomiting
• pain extending beyond the chest to the shoulder, back, or arm, or even to the jaw
• pressure or a squeezing pain or fullness in the chest
• shortness of breath, sweating
• unexplained fatigue
