Aspirin Use and Heart Health12/14/2006 |
How does the intake of aspirin and in what quantity affect or help heart diseases?
Aspirin is a very mild blood thinner and helps prevent blood from clotting. This may help in preventing a heart attack or stroke, which can be due to a tiny blood clot obstructing blood flow through an artery. Aspirin is also an anti-inflammatory medication, and there is some thought that heart attacks and strokes may involve inflammation in the blood vessels.The usual recommended dose is 81 mg (baby aspirin).
