Danish researchers, members of the European Society of Cardiology, found that patients who had a heart attack and did not take daily aspirin were more likely to have a second myocardial infarction, stroke, or death. The results of the scientists’ work were presented at the annual congress of the ESC society in 2023.
Even in small doses, aspirin prevents platelets from sticking together, preventing blood clots from forming and preventing blood flow in the arteries. In other words, aspirin protects the patient from diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
“Our results show that not taking aspirin as prescribed after a heart attack is associated with a higher risk of another heart attack. The authors recommend that all heart attack patients continue to take aspirin as recommended until randomized controlled trials prove otherwise and clinical guidelines are changed. ” said.
The study used data from the Danish national health registry. Patients aged 40 and over who had their first heart attack between 2004 and 2017 were included in the study. Two, four, six, and eight years after the attack, the researchers evaluated whether the patients were taking aspirin.
ancient scientists establishedthat heartburn pills can cause dementia.
