Aspirin should no longer be a go-to heart health tool, US health advisors say.
published in the last five years found that the benefits of aspirin as prevention were overstated. “They’re not questioning whether patients who have known heart disease should be on aspirin,” says Poumpouridis—for those people, the benefits are clear. It’s that for people with no clear heart disease risk, aspirin doesn’t make a huge difference.
The tradeoff is similar for individuals between the age of 40 to 59 who aren’t at risk of heart attacks, the survey reports. Now, only people who are 40 to 59, have a slightly elevated risk of heart disease, and aren’t predisposed to bleeding are recommended to take aspirin as a primary preventative—but only in conversation with a physician.
