What are the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended guidelines on the use of aspirin?

It is important that you speak to your doctor before starting or stopping aspirin therapy or if you have any questions.

The draft recommendations issued by the USPSTF pertain to the use of aspirin for the prevention of a first cardiovascular event, and do not pertain to those who have already had a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack or clot-related stroke and are taking aspirin based on their doctor’s recommendation. Several years ago, the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association updated their recommendations to limit the use of aspirin in patients without established cardiovascular disease. Their recommendations, which are closely followed by cardiologists, state that aspirin is an established practice for the secondary prevention of a heart attack or clot-related stroke. Read the full PLx press release on the latest USPSTF draft guidelines.
