A member asked:

How can baby aspirin help the heart?

Dr. Richard Pollard answered

Specializes in Anesthesiology

See below: The use of baby Aspirin has been suggested as it decreases platelet function. This means that clots cannot form as easily, specifically in the coronary arteries. It is not something a 34 year old should be trying unless suggested by a physician.
