2005.02.18 -- Aspirin Could Save More Women's Hearts
Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in women over the age of 50. Cardiovascular disease is largely preventable with a healthy lifestyle. However, there is evidence that low dose aspirin can also help prevent heart attacks and strokes in women at risk.
Since in some women (and men) the use of aspirin can be contraindicated, it's in your best interests to discuss regular aspirin use with your health care provider.
