A member asked:
Is it safe to take 325mg of asprin for a heart attack that may not be related to blood clots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The reason why aspirin is given to someone having a heart attack is to prevent the platelets from sticking together, forming a blockage. The blockage in the heart blood vessels is caused by a lipid plaque rupturing and then the platelets collect at the site and form a clot. Aspirin helps to prevent this which keeps the blood flowing to the heart muscle. A one time dose of 325mg would be ok.
