Double-Dose aspirin strategy tested to shield diabetic hearts

NCT ID NCT02520921

Summary

This study tested whether taking a low dose of aspirin twice a day is better than once a day at preventing future heart attacks, strokes, or other serious heart problems in people with diabetes or obesity who recently had a heart attack or chest pain. Researchers enrolled over 2,400 patients in France and followed them for 18 months to see if the twice-daily schedule offered better protection with an acceptable safety profile.
