Regular low-dose Aspirin therapy, taken as directed by a doctor, is one of the important and effective prevention tools for your heart. Aspirin has been shown to protect against first and second heart attacks in people with cardiovascular disease. ^[38]

It can also reduce your risk of having a clot-related stroke if you have already had one. ^[2]

If you’re a confirmed high risk for heart attack, talk with your doctor about a low-dose aspirin regimen. It may reduce your risk of a first or second heart attack, or recurrent clot-related stroke. ^[2]
