Aspirin Guide

61 yo male physician initiated first ever statin with chol 221, Hdl 53, coronary calcium 1 left circ., 31 LAD and no symptoms with regular exercise history. Developed severe tendonopathy/myopathy rather quickly at 11 months. Now suffering 6-7 weeks after d/c therapy from persistent symptoms. More details of course, but where would this physician find contemporary management considerations?

Tremendous!!! The bleeding risk is always my trouble spot!

helpful

Presumably some very smart clinicians and statisticians have waded through an Impossibly large set of literature data to help me sit with my patient and give him/her the best possible advice...

Thank you for the aspirin guide. It does not calculate risk scores or make recommendations for patients that have chronic high RBCs, hemoglobin, and/or platelets; former smokers (which smoking contributes to atherosclerosis); or polycythemia vera. All of which can lead to clot formation, heart attack and/or stroke, especially in a young patient.

Good

i feel this is a valuable tool in the primary care physician’s armamentarium to help decide if asa is neefed

This app is extremely valuable in helping a physician determine whether aspirin therapy is appropriate for patients for primary prevention of ASCVD.

This app was very helpful and allowed an informative discussion about the risk/benefit of taking aspirin in an intermediate risk patient. Love this app!

Useful app but... I do not see the major references for what it is based on. I know it is partially USPSTF. How long to continue aspirin? Need understanding of NNT and NNH
