Aspirin for Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease

women age 65 and older are likely to experience a net benefit from preventive low-dose aspirin therapy and should be considered for such therapy unless contraindicated. Most experts would recommend a dose of 81 mg to 100 mg daily, although higher doses may be required for patients with diabetes or established CVD. For most women below age 65, the WHS suggests that the risks of aspirin may outweigh the benefits. It is not known, however, whether subgroups of younger women at elevated CVD risk may benefit from aspirin or whether higher doses are needed for heart protection.
