Cоnsider the fоllоwing results аnd conclusions from а cаse-control study* on the effect of low-dose oral contraceptive (OC) use on the risk of myocardial infarction (MI): “The overall odds ratio (OR) for current OC use relative to never used was 1.3 (95% confidence interval [CI], .8–2.2). The OR was elevated, 2.5 (95% CI, .9–7.5), among heavy smokers (≥25 cigarettes per day) but close to 1.0 among lighter smokers (OR = .8) and nonsmokers (OR = 1.3). … Current use of low-dose OCs in the United States is unrelated to an increased risk of MI among nonsmokers and light smokers, but users who smoke heavily may be at greatly increased risk.” *Rosenberg L, Palmer JR, Rao RS, Shapiro S.
