In people with at least one risk factor for heart failure, taking aspirin may increase the likelihood of developing the condition, researchers report in a study published on the pages of the ESC Heart Failure building..

It is known that people suffering from obesity, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, who also lead an unhealthy lifestyle, are more likely to be at the top of the list of patients with cardiovascular insufficiency (CVD). And the usual aspirin can accelerate the development of this pathology..

A study conducted by a group of German scientists from the University of Freiburg (Germany) helped determine that taking aspirin, in combination with at least one of the above risk factors, can accelerate the development of CHF by 26%..

Scientists came to these conclusions after analyzing the data of more than 30,800 people included in the group with a high risk of developing STS.. The study was carried out in several stages. At the start of the study, a group of 7,698 volunteers were prescribed aspirin prophylaxis.. Already after 5 years, 1,330 people had symptoms of developing CHF.

Moreover, the risk of developing cardiovascular insufficiency was equally high in people of different sexes, with different body weights, the presence or absence of bad habits, etc..

“Our study is the first to draw an analogy between aspirin use and the risk of developing heart failure in individuals with at least one risk factor for heart problems.. The use of aspirin in this case was able to increase the chances of such a life-threatening condition as heart failure by 25%,” said project author Blerim Mujaj..
