==Aspirin==
===Mechanisms of Benefit===
*Aspirin is a potent anti-platelet agent.
*[[Aspirin]] induces an irreversible functional defect in platelets by inhibiting cyclo oxygenase (COX-1) and subsequently suppressing the activation of [[thromboxane A2]] that is responsible for platelet aggregation.<ref name="pmid8145785">Patrono C (1994) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=8145785 Aspirin as an antiplatelet drug.] ''N Engl J Med'' 330 (18):1287-94.

*In patients with chronic stable angina, prior [[MI]] and [[unstable angina]], aspirin improves survival and prevents [[myocardial infarction|infarction]].<ref name="pmid11786451">Antithrombotic Trialists' Collaboration (2002) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11786451 Collaborative meta-analysis of randomised trials of antiplatelet therapy for prevention of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in high risk patients.] ''BMJ'' 324 (7329):71-86. PMID: [http://pubmed.gov/11786451 11786451]</ref>
*Aspirin has shown to improve endothelial function and at high doses reduce acute phase reactants.
===Indication===
All patients with chronic stable angina, aspirin unless contraindicated should be started at 75 to 162 mg/day and continued indefinitely.<ref name="pmid15383474">Patrono C, Coller B, FitzGerald GA, Hirsh J, Roth G (2004) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15383474 Platelet-active drugs: the relationships among dose, effectiveness, and side effects: the Seventh ACCP Conference on Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy.] ''Chest'' 126 (3 Suppl):234S-264S.

===Contraindications===
*Gastrointestinal bleed
*Aspirin hypersensitivity (triad of rhinitis, asthma and polyposis)
*Coagulation disorder
*Uncontrolled hypertension<ref name="pmid9635947">Hansson L, Zanchetti A, Carruthers SG, Dahlöf B, Elmfeldt D, Julius S et al. (1998) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9635947 Effects of intensive blood-pressure lowering and low-dose aspirin in patients with hypertension: principal results of the Hypertension Optimal Treatment (HOT) randomised trial. HOT Study Group.] ''Lancet'' 351 (9118):1755-62. PMID: [http://pubmed.gov/9635947 9635947]</ref>
===Dosage===
*A dose range of 75 to 162 mg/day of aspirin<ref name="pmid11786451">Antithrombotic Trialists' Collaboration (2002) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11786451 Collaborative meta-analysis of randomised trials of antiplatelet therapy for prevention of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in high risk patients.] ''BMJ'' 324 (7329):71-86. PMID: [http://pubmed.gov/11786451 11786451]</ref> appears to be effective and is associated with lower risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
*In comparison to a dose range of 160-325 mg/day, a lower dose of aspirin (75-162 mg/day) has a higher efficacy for secondary prevention.


'''Mechanism of benefit:'''
*Aspirin improves endothelial function and at higher doses (300 mg/day) reduce the circulating levels of [[C-reactive protein]].<ref name="pmid9077376">Ridker PM, Cushman M, Stampfer MJ, Tracy RP, Hennekens CH (1997) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9077376 Inflammation, aspirin, and the risk of cardiovascular disease in apparently healthy men.] ''N Engl J Med'' 336 (14):973-9. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1056/NEJM199704033361401 DOI:10.1056/NEJM199704033361401] PMID: [http://pubmed.gov/9077376 9077376]</ref>
*[[Aspirin]] inhibits cyclo oxygenase and the subsequent suppression of [[thromboxane A2]], the key moderator of irreversible platelet aggregation.  
*Aspirin is a potent anti platelet agent and has been shown to improve survival and to prevent infarction in patients with [[unstable angina]] or after [[myocardial infarction]].


'''Aspirin dosing:'''
===Drug Interactions===
*A 75-mg dose has been shown to be effective and causes less gastrointestinal bleeding than the commonly prescribed 325 mg dose.
Use of [[warfarin]] in conjunction with [[aspirin]] and/or [[clopidogrel]] is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and therefore, close monitoring is required.
:*Aspirin also improves endothelial function and, when used in high dose (300 mg/day), has been shown to reduce circulating levels of [[C-reactive protein]]. Therefore, it should be started at 75 to 162 mg/day and continued indefinitely in all patients with chronic stable angina pectoris, unless contraindicated.
:*75 to 162 mg/day aspirin dosing range appears to have comparable efficacy for secondary prevention compared to dosing at 160-325 mg/day and also reduces bleeding risk.


*Use of [[warfarin]] in conjunction with [[aspirin]] and/or [[clopidogrel]] is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and should be monitored closely.  
===Adverse Effects===
A higher dose of aspirin is associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal bleed.<ref name="pmid15383474">Patrono C, Coller B, FitzGerald GA, Hirsh J, Roth G (2004) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15383474 Platelet-active drugs: the relationships among dose, effectiveness, and side effects: the Seventh ACCP Conference on Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy.] ''Chest'' 126 (3 Suppl):234S-264S.

Risk calculators and risk factors for Chronic stable angina treatment aspirin

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [3]; Associate Editor(s)-In-Chief: Cafer Zorkun, M.D., Ph.D. [4]; John Fani Srour, M.D.; Jinhui Wu, M.D.; Lakshmi Gopalakrishnan. M.B.B.S.; Aysha Anwar, M.B.B.S[5]

Overview

In patients with ischemic heart disease, prophylactic low dose aspirin prevents arterial thrombosis by irreversible inactivation of platelet aggregation.[1][2][3][4]

Aspirin

Mechanisms of Benefit

  • Aspirin is a potent anti-platelet agent.
  • Aspirin induces an irreversible functional defect in platelets by inhibiting cyclo oxygenase (COX-1) and subsequently suppressing the activation of thromboxane A2 that is responsible for platelet aggregation.[5]
  • Aspirin has shown to improve endothelial function and at high doses reduce acute phase reactants.

Indication

All patients with chronic stable angina, aspirin unless contraindicated should be started at 75 to 162 mg/day and continued indefinitely.[3]

Contraindications

  • Gastrointestinal bleed
  • Aspirin hypersensitivity (triad of rhinitis, asthma and polyposis)
  • Coagulation disorder
  • Uncontrolled hypertension[6]

Dosage

  • A dose range of 75 to 162 mg/day of aspirin[4] appears to be effective and is associated with lower risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • In comparison to a dose range of 160-325 mg/day, a lower dose of aspirin (75-162 mg/day) has a higher efficacy for secondary prevention.
  • Aspirin improves endothelial function and at higher doses (300 mg/day) reduce the circulating levels of C-reactive protein.[7]

Drug Interactions

Use of warfarin in conjunction with aspirin and/or clopidogrel is associated with an increased risk of bleeding and therefore, close monitoring is required.

Adverse Effects

A higher dose of aspirin is associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal bleed.[3]

Supportive Trial Data

  • Meta-analysis (2002) of 140,000 patients from the Antiplatelet Trialists’ Collaboration showed that aspirin (75-325 mg/day) reduced the rate of subsequent myocardial infarction, stroke, and death in patients with history of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, CABG, and stroke.[4]
  • Meta-analysis (2000) of 24 randomized controlled trials involving 66,000 patients showed significant increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage associated with long term aspirin therapy. There was no supportive evidence of lower dose or modified release formulations reducing the incidence of GI bleed.[8]
