The Benefits of Daily Aspirin: Reducing Heart Attack, Stroke, and Diabetes Risks

A recent Danish study presented at the ESC Congress 2023 in Amsterdam found that taking a daily aspirin after a heart attack can reduce the risk of future cardiac events or strokes. The study analyzed data from over 40,000 patients who had their first heart attack and took aspirin for a year following the event.
