Question
What is the best dose of aspirin for secondary prevention in persons with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease?
Conclusion
There is no advantage to a 325-mg dose of aspirin for patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and people taking the higher dose often switched to the lower dose (although the reason is unclear). Just stick with 81 mg.
