Overview

Mechanism of benefit:

  • Aspirin inhibits cyclo oxygenase and the subsequent suppression of thromboxane A2, the key moderator of irreversible platelet aggregation.
  • Aspirin is a potent anti platelet agent and has been shown to improve survival and to prevent infarction in patients with unstable angina or after myocardial infarction.

Aspirin dosing:

  • A 75-mg dose has been shown to be effective and causes less gastrointestinal bleeding than the commonly prescribed 325 mg dose.
  • Aspirin also improves endothelial function and, when used in high dose (300 mg/day), has been shown to reduce circulating levels of C-reactive protein. Therefore, it should be started at 75 to 162 mg/day and continued indefinitely in all patients with chronic stable angina pectoris, unless contraindicated.
  • 75 to 162 mg/day aspirin dosing range appears to have comparable efficacy for secondary prevention compared to dosing at 160-325 mg/day and also reduces bleeding risk.
  • Use of warfarin in conjunction with aspirin and/or clopidogrel is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and should be monitored closely.

Supportive trial data:

  • Meta-analysis of 140,000 patients from the Antiplatelet Trialists’ Collaboration showed that aspirin (75-325 mg/day) reduced the rate of subsequent myocardial infarction, stroke, and death in patients with history of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, CABG, and stroke.

ACC/AHA Guidelines- Pharmacotherapy to Prevent MI and Death and Reduce Symptoms (DO NOT EDIT)[1][2][3]

Class I

1. Aspirin should be started at 75 to 162 mg per day and continued indefinitely in all patients unless contraindicated. (Level of Evidence: A)

2. Use of warfarin in conjunction with aspirin and/or clopidogrel is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and should be monitored closely. (Level of Evidence: B)

Class IIa

1. Clopidogrel when aspirin is absolutely contraindicated. (Level of Evidence: B)
