Using Low Dose Aspirin To Combat Heart Problems
April 20, 2007 · Filed Under Heart Health · Comment
Study after study has shown that the low dose form of a pill which has been around for almost 100 years can help prevent both first and second heart attacks in people suffering from coronary artery disease.
What is this pill?
Aspirin.
If aspirin is taken either during a heart attack or immediately following one it can greatly reduce the chance that the heart attack will prove to be fatal. Low-dose aspirin also decreases the chance that a person will suffer a stroke if at some stage in the past they have suffered either a stroke or a “temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain” which is known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Transient ischemic attacks are often the precursor to having a stroke.
