Reduce your risk of stroke and heart
attack with Bayer Aspirin Cardio
®
100
Aspirin, an antiplatelet agent, which slows the clotting process, is widely used among patients with
cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attacks, stroke and peripheral vascular disease.
1, 2, 5, 6
During a heart attack, blood clots form in an already-narrowed artery and block the flow of oxygen-rich
blood to the heart muscle or to parts of the brain, in the case of a stroke.
7
Studies have shown that aspirin reduced the number of strokes by 20 % and heart attacks by 30 %.
It has been determined that for every 67 patients treated to protect against heart attacks and stroke, one
life could be saved with low-dose aspirin therapy.
