WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) - A U.S. Food and Drug Administration preliminary analysis found a level of heart-attack risk with GlaxoSmithKline Plc's (GSK.L: Quote, Profile , Research) (GSK.N: Quote, Profile , Research)diabetes drug Avandia similar to what was reported in a study earlier this week, the agency confirmed on Friday.

FDA spokeswoman Julie Zawisza stressed that other data conflicted with that finding, and officials still were weighing whether to take any action.

A Cleveland Clinic analysis released Monday said the drug increased the chances of having a heart attack by 43 percent.
