Aspirin under attack . . . not by Gastro-enterologists this time , but by cardiologists themself !
Aspirin , after all may not be safe , as a primary prevention drug against CAD . It seems , it considerably increases the risk of bleeding . The new meta analysis just published in Archives of internal medicine says so !
Be cautious it concludes ! Since the track record of evidence based medical science ( and its reproducibility ) looks pathetic in recent times , we may expect another stunning study very soon , with an exactly opposite conclusion !
After thought
So , we have a “vacancy in the top slot” for primary prevention of CAD . Mind you , makers of Prasugrel and Ticagrelor are already fastening their seat belts !

Yes sir,
you are absolutely right , the track of evidence based medicine has gone in to wrong track. The main reason is making compulsory research work under premeture conditiopns with meagre resources and under poorly qualified people under the direction of non medical market executives.

I suspect aspirin responsible for hemorrhagic stroke in in two cases , one 99 years old and another 70 years !!
