Aspirin Heart Disease Study- Although it has been proven before that drugs such as aspirin can really help prevent heart attack, stroke and whatnot, a new study has found the great risk this poses.
A new study has found the bigger problem in taking Aspirin to prevent certain conditions related to the heart.
According to Los Angeles Times, this new research discovered that there is a big tendency for more than one in 10 people to actually get the harmful effects than the good ones.
Furthermore, the research that was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology established that at this point in time many people tend to intake the drug "inappropriately."
Of course, aspirin or acetylsalisylic acid actually has the positive effect of averting heart attacks and strokes since it ensures that blood clot formation is prevented.
When clots are formed, the circulation of blood to the vital organ is highly compromised.
Nevertheless, though aspirin is now proven to help combat cardiovascular disease, it is very dangerous when used in excess.
Experts are now recommending aspirin therapy for people who suffered from an ischemic stroke or heart attack.
In the Aspirin, Heart Disease study, experts noticed that at least 68,808 people were taken to reduce the the risk of the cardiovascular disease, reports Syracuse.
"he American Heart Association guidelines recommend aspirin as preventative medicine for people with a 10-year cardiovascular risk of 10 percent or more."
Experts weighed in on the final implication of the study.
"We need a discussion between the patient and the clinician to see that we're not causing more harm than good," a cardiologist who co-authored the study told The New York Times. "Public health risk could be high."
"It's probably easier to take a pill than to change your lifestyle," said Dr. Rvi Hira.
