Aspirin can reduce risk of heart attacks, strokes in patients with pneumonia ANI | Updated: Jul 12, 2021 10:20 IST Washington [US], July 12 (ANI): According to a new study, aspirin can reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction (MI - heart attack) in patients with pneumonia. The new research, presented at this year s European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), appeared in the European Respiratory Journal. Serious cardiovascular complications are common in cases of pneumonia and are strongly associated with long-term mortality. This study by Dr Fergus Hamilton and colleagues at the University of Bristol, UK, looked at whether aspirin could reduce the risk of ischemic stroke (stroke caused by blockage of blood vessels, representing some 80 per cent of strokes) and heart attack, and if the drug could have a preventative role to play in primary care settings.
