aspirin and heart disease


Aspirin can help prevent blood clots from forming and is often used to prevent recurrent heart attacks and strokes. The American Heart Association recommends that people at high risk of heart attack take a daily low dose of aspirin, as instructed by their healthcare provider. Heart attack survivors often take a regular low dose of aspirin. Taking an aspirin can also help when a heart attack is in progress, greatly improving chances of survival.
