What is the effect of aspirin on cardiovascular disease?
Aspirin has been shown to have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease. In a 2009 study, Steinhubl et al. found that aspirin was associated with a lower risk of thrombosis and bleeding, and that higher doses of aspirin were associated with a greater protective effect. Additionally, in a 2005 study, Serebruany et al. found that higher doses of aspirin were associated with a lower risk of bleeding complications in patients enrolled in randomized controlled trials.
