NuvaRing, the popular new contraceptive, is linked to a greater risk of a myocardial infarction compared to birth control methods such as the Pill. "Myocardial infarction" is the medical term for a heart attack, an unexpected, life-threatening complication.

Death of Heart Muscle Tissue

"Myo" means "muscle," and "cardial" refers to the heart. An infarction is the death of tissue in the body due to inadequate blood flow to the tissue. The inadequate blood flow can be caused by a clot blocking the blood's ability to travel freely through a vessel. If a blood clot blocks the flow of blood into the heart, a heart attack can be the result.

Increased Blood Clot Risk

NuvaRing works by providing low doses of two hormones that prevent the production of mature eggs from a woman's ovaries. However, these hormones can also increase the risk of NuvaRing blood clots. The myocardial infarction risk of a woman who is using the NuvaRing birth control method is greater than if she's using the Pill or another form of contraceptive.

A myocardial infarction can cause a woman permanent heart damage and disability; it can also be fatal. The risk of a NuvaRing myocardial infarction in a woman this form of birth control is even greater if she's over 35, a smoker, or has a history of cardiovascular disease.

Symptoms of NuvaRing Myocardial Infarction

The symptoms of a myocardial infarction in a woman may be different than the "classic" symptoms known in men. A woman using a NuvaRing should be aware of the following signs and symptoms of myocardial infarction:

• nausea
• unexplainable fatigue
• lightheaded feeling
• shortness of breath
• clammy skin
• pain or a squeezed feeling in the chest that may extend to the arm, back or jaw

A myocardial infarction can occur without the individual realizing what it is; she may attribute the symptoms to heartburn or exercise fatigue or another condition. The symptoms may resolve on their own. However, a myocardial infarction is always a serious event that should receive medical attention.
