Abstract

Aspirin indication in primary prevention has been questioned in the last ten years due to the publica-tion of several trials with neutral outcomes. In the last year, three research studies discussed in thisreview (ASCEND, ARRIVE, ASPREE) have weighed the benefit (cardiovascular events reduction) againstthe adverse effects (especially bleeding) in several situations such as general population with moderatecardiovascular risk, diabetics and elderly population. This review performs a detailed analysis of thesetrials and it also comments on a recent metanalysis that includes these projects along with others under-taken in the last 30 years. In addition, the current position of aspirin in primary prevention is establishedbased on the latest evidence reviewed.

La presente revisiónrealiza un análisis pormenorizado de estos 3 estudios y comenta un reciente metaanálisis que recogetanto estos trabajos como otros realizados durante los últimos 30 años. Además, se establece el actualposicionamiento de la Aspirina®en prevención primaria a la luz de la evidencia revisada.
