Aspirin for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events
There is significant evidence that low-dose aspirin is effective in preventing the first myocardial infarction in men and ischemic stroke in women. There is also an increased risk for major gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage and a suggestive, but nonsignificant, increase in the risk for hemorrhagic stroke. If there is a history of ulcer disease or upper-gastrointestinal tract bleeding, Helicobac...
متن کاملAspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality.1 For example, in 2000, it accounted directly for around 2 million deaths in the European Union.2 Worldwide, many people take aspirin daily in the belief that doing so helps to prevent CVD. This approach is established for the secondary prevention of recurrent vascular events. However, there has been some uncertainty about the place o...
متن کاملDifferential Effect of Low-Dose Aspirin for Primary Prevention of Atherosclerotic Events in Diabetes Management
OBJECTIVE Recent reports showed that low-dose aspirin was ineffective in the primary prevention of cardiovascular events in diabetic patients overall. We hypothesized that low-dose aspirin would be beneficial in patients receiving insulin therapy, as a high-risk group. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study is a subanalysis of the Japanese Primary Prevention of Atherosclerosis With Aspirin fo...
متن کاملCardiovascular Imaging for the Primary Prevention of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events
Traditional cardiovascular risk factors have well-known limitations for the accurate assessment of individual cardiovascular risk. Unlike risk factor-based scores which rely on probabilistic calculations derived from population-based studies, coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring, and carotid ultrasound allow for the direct visualization and quantification of subclinical atherosclerosis with th...
متن کاملEffects of changing guidelines on prescribing aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events.
OBJECTIVE The use of low-dose aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients at elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasingly being questioned. Aspirin may not benefit this population and may increase the risk of major bleeding events. Data support aspirin use in patients with known CVD. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of de-identified electronic hea...
