Rethinking aspirin for heart disease. For decades aspirin has been the go-to drug for preventing heart attacks and strokes. A new global study of 29,000 patients shows clopidogrel is safer and 14% more effective, with no added bleeding risk.

Doctors have known about this drug for decades and use it in nearly every PCI patient or post MI. One concern was added bleeding risk. Since that is not the case, this is wonderful news.
