Abstract

Purpose of Review

In this review article, a detailed analysis of the current literature is provided, along with a “glimpse” into what the future holds for aspirin in the context of primary prevention.

Recent Findings

The role of aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has been extensively evaluated; however, the results provided over the years have been controversial. Identification of individual subgroups who may benefit from aspirin administration at an acceptable risk of bleeding complications is of paramount importance. Additionally, questions emerge at everyday clinical practice regarding the optimal use of aspirin in different phenotypes of patients due to age, sex, obesity status, frailty and diabetes mellitus.

Summary

Until further data become available, the effective management of the well-established CV risk factors constitutes the milestone in the primary prevention of CVD. Moreover, based on the available evidence, the beneficial addition of aspirin in the modern era of lifestyle and pharmacological interventions for primary CVD prevention remains largely undetermined and further research is needed.
