Aspirin: the cheap wonder drug.

  • Summary

  • Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid, is one of the oldest and most widely used medications in the world.

    Well known for its analgesic effects, it was later discovered to be effective (in much smaller doses) in preventing platelet aggregation that had a pivotal role in arterial thrombosis.

    Its role in inhibiting platelet activity has made it a cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of arterial thrombosis. In this article, we will explore the fascinating role of platelets in acute coronary thrombosis, the mechanisms by which aspirin exerts its protective effects, and the clinical considerations for its use.
