Daily aspirin reduces heart attack risk in study group Boston up people with pro longed Chest pain due to heart disease can dramatically reduce their risk of heart at tack and sudden death by taking four regu Lar strength aspirin a Day. Canadian re searchers said wednesday. The researchers said they believe daily doses of aspirin May also reduce the risks for people with less severe heart disease although studies supporting such conclusions Are not yet Complete. The results of the two year study of 555 patients conducted by researchers at my master University in Ontario Canada were published in the new England journal of Medicine. The report follows the decision by the food and drug administration last month to Sanction the use of a single aspirin Tablet u Day to reduce the threat of a heart attack in people who have already have had one. But officials of the american heart association warned nov. 11 against wide spread use of aspirin to Ward off heart Dis ease expressing concern about the Adverse Side effects sometimes associated with regu Lar aspirin use. In the Canadian study patients with unstable angina the painful condition caused by clogged coronary arteries were randomly divided into one of four groups. One group was Given 325 milligrams of aspirin four times daily. The second group was Given 200 milligrams of Wulfin Pyrazole. A drug investigated for anti clotting activity four times daily. The third was Given both drugs four limes daily. And inc fourth was Given pills Wilh  Active ingredient four times daily. The study found i Host people Given aspirin or aspirin and sufi Spyra on were 71 percent less Likely to die and 51 percent less Likely to suffer a Hearl attack.

Cairns primary author of he report said  one is sure Why aspirin seems to be so beneficial.
