Are you trying to prevent heart disease by taking low dose aspirin? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. New research out of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School suggests that taking low-dose aspirin, or “baby aspirin”, once a day can do more harm than good—if a doctor hasn’t told you to take it. It’s estimated that around 6.6 million people in the US are taking low-dose aspirin—even though they haven’t been advised to do so. Numerous studies have found that the risk for internal bleeding outweighs the benefits of taking aspirin to prevent heart disease. Now, if you have been advised to take low-dose aspirin by your doctor, continue to take it. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about preventing heart disease. This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
