Do you know why you give aspirin for acute MI? Mel discusses the ISIS-2 paper from 1988 that established this practice.
for people on anticoagulant presenting with chest pain, possibke ACS, Aspirin is still ok to give rigtht? would it matter which anticoagulant? thank you 😊
what about people on other NSAIDs e.g. Ibuprofen?
Yes aspirin is used in addition to other anticoagulants
I would be interested to know what these 20 papers
Justin D - I am gathering a list
So before 1998 were people treating MIs with just Morphine and Prayer?
Basically yes - and "bedrest" and treatment of arrhythmias
