RPR Commentary

This is the decision aid for low-dose aspirin use developed for the Healthy Hearts for OK Project.  For that project, we emphasized secondary prevention.  Primary prevention is still controversial and situation-dependent.

Abstract

The benefit of aspirin is not dose-dependent; use low-dose aspirin (81 mg) when indicated.
