First seen Feb 22, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a very low dose of aspirin (20 mg twice daily) combined with a blood thinner called rivaroxaban (2.5 mg twice daily) works differently than standard treatments in people with chronic coronary syndromes. Forty-eight adults who already take daily aspirin for heart disease were given three different medication regimens in random order, each for two weeks. Researchers measured bleeding time, blood clotting, and inflammation markers to compare the new combo with standard aspirin alone or standard aspirin plus rivaroxaban.
