Aspirin May Reduce Tiny Strokes in Elderly
UPI reports at the American Heart Association Conference that aspirin appears to lower recurrence of transient ischemic attacks in elderly patients though it does not reduce death rates. Doctors described TIAs as a limping brain with brief blood flow loss, noting aspirin slows coagulation and may prevent brain blood clots, but long acting aspirin may not affect coagulation after digestion. A separate panel discussed bypass surgery for diseased heart vessels as life prolonging, though studies remain inconclusive.
