Aspirin's heart benefits and bleeding risk
Aspirin has been used for years to prevent blood clots and heart diseases by reducing platelet aggregation. However, recent research shows that its use for primary prevention in healthy individuals significantly increases the risk of bleeding, particularly gastrointestinal and internal bleeding, without demonstrating a clear benefit in reducing deaths from heart diseases. Studies indicate that the benefits of aspirin in prevention are intertwined with its risks; therefore, current recommendations are limited to individuals with known heart conditions, while routine use is advised against for healthy older adults who do not have heart problems. The decision to use aspirin should be personalized, based on a careful assessment of the risks and benefits, and it should not be discontinued by individuals who are on a prescription from specialist doctors.
