Skipping aspirin after MI tied to higher risk of recurrence and death
Danish researchers analysed long-term outcomes in 40,000 patients prescribed daily low-dose aspirin for secondary prevention.
Patients who stop taking daily low-dose aspirin after MI have up to a 40% higher risk of recurrent MI, stroke, or death than those who consistently take the drug, a registry-based study shows.
Danish researchers followed more than 40,000 people aged 40 or older who had a first-time MI from 2004-17.
