From what I've heard about this, it's not something you should be particularly worried (especially if you're reasonable young) about if you've taken vioxx.

The problem is aspirin is very good at reducing heart attacks, but if you are taking vioxx you can not also take aspirin.

So a lot more people ended up having heart attacks because they were NOT on aspirin, as opposed to effects of the vioxx.
