Aspirin
Today, aspirin is recommended for primary prevention of heart attack and stroke.1 In fact, close to 95% of patients having a heart attack are given aspirin within 24 hours of admission to the hospital and again at discharge.2
If you are one of the 50 million Americans who are on chronic aspirin therapy , you need to know that:
- Not all patients respond equally to their antiplatelet medications.4
- Patients who fail to respond adequately to aspirin therapy may be at a significantly increased risk to have a major heart attack or stroke.
- Patients on higher doses of aspirin may be at risk for increased bleeding.6
