That is the title of an article for a new study that found "a daily aspirin of 75 to 81 mg is best for the long-term prevention of cardiovascular disease and stroke without causing serious side effects." They go on to say that the higher doses don't offer better protection and are associated with increased risk of GI bleeding. One doctor mentioned that people with prior heart attack or stroke should be on the lowest possible dose and " there is data to suggest that higher doses are associated with worse outcomes."

The only thing that seems to be missing in this study/article is that they did not specifically mention whether these findings still apply for people who have had stents implanted. Another issue to be discussed with the cardiologist I guess. What do you guys think?
