rin, the American Heart Association has made several recommendations regarding aspirin intake:
• You should not decide to begin taking aspirin every other day until you have consulted with your doctor.
• If you decide, with your doctor’s approval, to begin taking aspirin regularly, be sure you know aspirin’s possible side effects. Your doctor can tell you what they are, and be sure to report any side effects to your doctor without delay.
• Since aspirin prolongs bleeding, it should be regulated if you’re scheduled for even a simple surgical procedure or dental treatment, and the attending physician should be made aware of aspirin intake before treatment. The effects of a single dose of aspirin may last for as long as 10 days.
• All other risk factors for coronary heart disease and stroke should be determined and a program begun to reduce those risk factors.
Aspirin gains an important new role in preventing heart attack, but it is not a miracle cure in the many-sided battle against all forms of heart and blood vessel disease. However, controlling high blood pressure, lowering blood cholesterol, not smoking and taking an aspirin every other day could be worth more than “a pound of cure.” It could mean your life.
