Daily aspirin is not for everyone

Low-dose aspirin to prevent a first heart attack? The 2022 guidance changed.

  1. 1Had a heart attack, stroke or stent? Keep taking it (secondary prevention)
  2. 2No cardiovascular disease and aged 60+: USPSTF 2022 says do not start
  3. 3Aged 40–59 with 10-year risk ≥10%: individual decision, net benefit small
  4. 4Bleeding risk (gut, brain) rises with age and offsets the benefit
  5. 5CKD raises bleeding risk further — don’t start on your own
  6. 6Never stop prescribed aspirin without asking

“Prevention” means you don’t have the disease yet. If you do, it’s treatment — and the answer is different.
