<<My bet is that the 800 mg dose is causing problems.>>

I agree with you...the study showing no cardiac problems was done with 400mg/day..the 400-800mg showed the issues..

The caveat, imo, is eventhough the majority of patients taking it for pain(200mg is on the label, I believe) there are numerous studies using it for cancer treatment at 400-800mg/day with aggressive cancers getting 800mg..and also physicians prescribing it off label, outside of controlled clinical trials, in this population..
