Michael PY - 2017 T2 - Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach, 10e AB - Content UpdateMay 20, 2019Update on Aspirin Use in Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease: The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) published a guideline for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. The 2019 Guideline reinforces the importance of adopting lifelong, healthy dietary and exercise habits for everyone. In addition, tobacco cessation, weight loss, and pharmacologic treatment to address risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), such as hypertension and dyslipidemia, are given strong (Class I) recommendations. Aspirin should be used infrequently for primary prevention of ASCVD because its potential benefits are often offset by increased bleeding risk. A team-based approach to addressing factors that increase ASCVD risk is strongly endorsed (Class 1A recommendation).
