For many decades, aspirin was advised to prevent heart attacks, both for those who had pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to prevent coronary heart disease (CHD).
Baby aspirin (low dose aspirin — usually a 75-81 mg tablet) became an article of faith for heart protection in American adults.
So, for many Americans, it came as a surprise that recent guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology altered their recommendation on prescribing aspirin for primary prevention of CVD and CHD.
Though UK and Europe had earlier changed their positions on the use of aspirin for heart attack prevention, American guidelines influence medical practice in many other parts of the world.
So, the reasons for a change of stance in those guidelines need to be understood even in India.
