Can aspirin prevent cardiovascular events in patients with a history of smoking and what guidelines exist for its use in this population?
Aspirin can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in smokers by inhibiting platelet aggregation. Guidelines recommend aspirin for certain high-risk patients but stress individual risk assessment.
Clinical guidelines suggest low-dose aspirin for primary prevention in smokers at high cardiovascular risk but not universally due to bleeding risks. Always consult a healthcare provider.
