Aspirin

Categories: Prescription Medication

Description:

Aspirin is a cornerstone treatment for myocardial infarction because it helps prevent platelets from clumping together, reducing clot growth in the coronary arteries. Given as soon as possible during a heart attack, it improves survival and lowers the risk of further artery blockage. It is usually continued long-term as part of secondary prevention to reduce the chance of another heart attack. Aspirin is inexpensive, well studied, and widely available, making it one of the most reliable therapies in cardiac care. The main risk is bleeding, but the benefits generally outweigh this in patients with heart disease.
