Abstract

Aspirin alone is indicated in the setting of the primary prevention of coronary heart disease in individuals who have multiple coronary risk factors. It is also recommended for the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke, patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease, and the long-term secondary prevention of myocardial infarction. Low-dose aspirin (81 mg) is typically prescribed in the setting of primary prevention and in the long-term after a patient suffers a myocardial infarction, while high-dose aspirin (325 mg) is typically prescribed in the acute setting post-myocardial infarction and for the long-term secondary prevention of ischemic stroke. Low-dose aspirin is typically combined with oral anticoagulants such as Coumadin in the primary prevention of embolic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
