“D OES ASPIRIN PREVENT heart attacks?” The question is asked by both patients and physicians who wonder how a pill for headaches could influence a lethal vascular event. Today, a wealth of evidence shows that aspirin does, indeed, prevent heart attacks and related thrombotic disorders such as strokes.’ Performed over more than two decades, the pertinent studies range from clinical epidemiology to molecular biology and include the observation that aspirin exerts its antithrombotic effect through a single specific reaction with an enzyme of blood platelet^.'^^ This review traces the connection between aspirin, the platelet enzyme (cyclo-oxygenase), and the clinical data on thrombosis, noting issues such as the indications, doses, and risks of this unique medication.
