Aspirin Suddenly, Heart Patients Told
(Washington, Reuters Health,10/29/03)
When Dr. Emile Ferrari of University Hospital Pasteur in
Nice, France, and colleagues, analyzed data from 1,236 heart
patients, the researchers found that 51 of the subjects had
experienced severe cardiac events, including heart attacks,
within a week of discontinuing regular aspirin use. These
findings suggest that abrupt aspirin withdrawal can have
devastating consequences and should be avoided. |
