Halfprin low strength daily aspirin therapy for men and women

WHO HALFPRIN HELPS

Men and women alike can benefit a great deal from daily aspirin therapy. Physician-directed low strength aspirin therapy can result in heart attack prevention and stroke prevention. This is why many doctors recommend aspirin for their patients at high risk of heart attack, even if they haven't had a previous one. This use is referred to as primary prevention, and is included in a number of prominent professional guidelines. ⁽³⁴⁾ If you think you might benefit from a low strength aspirin regimen, you should talk to your doctor about its benefits and risks.

IT’S YOUR HEART, BE GOOD TO IT!

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the United States. ⁽²⁶⁾ Every year about 785,000 Americans have a first heart attack and another 470,000 who have already had one or more heart attacks have another attack. ⁽²⁷⁾

Your heart is a major hub of activity, acting as the pump that sends blood to all parts of the body to keep it functioning properly. Your heart works year after year without taking a break, at an average rate of 70 to 80 beats per minute, or about 40,000,000 heartbeats per year. Needless to say, it is the most important muscle in our body.
