Abstract
The decision to prescribe aspirin to prevent a coronary event is not straightforward, and requires physicians to balance the risk of a coronary event with the risk of adverse events from aspirin. Although evidence-based medicine shows the way, it does not answer all the questions, especially for patients at intermediate risk.
