In patients with ischemic heart disease, withdrawal of aspirin can cause coronary events. This was discussed at the 69th annual scientific meeting of the American College of Thoracic Doctors, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net "The cessation of taking aspirin can be very dangerous," stresses Dr Emile Ferrari (University Clinic of Pasteur, Nice, France). He and his colleagues analyzed the medical history of 1,236 patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome (including unstable angina, stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction) from September 1999. to April 2002.

It was found that 51 patients (15 people with a history of heart attack, 36 with stable angina, no one with unstable angina prior to withdrawal) stopped taking aspirin in less than a week before the coronary event. This corresponds to a frequency of 4. 1% of all hospitalizations of this etiology. Before admission, all participants took aspirin for at least 3 months.

The causes of cancellation of aspirin were surgery (7), fibroscopy (8), sanitation of the oral cavity (13), bleeding (3) and poor adherence to therapy (20).

"Patients with ISF before oral sanitation and surgery are often advised to stop taking aspirin, in order to avoid the risk of bleeding," said Dr. Ferrari. "Our results suggest that in such clinical situations, the abolition of aspirin should find an alternative".
