First seen May 14, 2026 ยท Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This small study looked at whether taking two common blood thinners (aspirin and clopidogrel) for two weeks could improve blood flow in the lungs of current or former smokers, some with COPD and some without. Fifteen people participated in a crossover design where each person received both the active pills and a placebo. The main goal was to measure changes in lung blood flow using a special CT scan.
