Ordinary aspirin
may stop strokes
United Press International
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. —
New research is beginning to in
dicate that ordinary aspirin can
reduce the threat of stroke symp
toms and recurrent heart attacks
among people with diseased ar
teries.
Study results are just becom
ing available and there is no evi
dence yet to support theories the
anti-clotting effects of aspirin on
aUs blood will prevent strokes or
| heart attacks among people with
no signs of disease.
But Dr. William Fields, head
I of neurology at the University of
I Texas Health Sciences Center in
Houston, said, “There’s no ques
tion aspirin has an effect.”
Fields outlined at an American
Heart Association meeting Wed
nesday the results of a two-year
study by 10 institutions on the
effects of aspirin on people who
rthu,
eimfj f
already had “little strokes” or
had other stroke symptoms.
Half the patients were given
two apsirins twice a day and the
other half received dummy pills.
Eighty-five percent of those re
ceiving aspirin reported no
additional symptoms during a
period of up to two years, com
pared with 58 percent of those
who took dummy pills.
Supporting that finding was a
preliminary report from a similar
study conducted at 24 medical
centers in Canada.
The major result, according to
Dr. Michael Gent of McMaster
University in Hamilton, Ontario,
was a 50 percent reduction in
death and disability from strokes
among males taking aspirin,
compared to those who took
dummy medicine.
Two studies are now under
way in the United States to see if
daily aspirin doses will reduce
the heart attack risk. Results of
one study are expected to be
available next month.
However, a recently com
pleted study by doctors in West
Germany and Austria found that
people who suffered one heart
attack had fewer second attacks
when they took aspirin.
Aspirin has been in use for 80
years to relieve aches and pains
and to lower temperatures.
Some doctors over the years
have noted that patients receiv
ing aspirin regularly for chronic
headaches or arthritis seemed to
have lower occurence of stoke
and heart attack.
Laboratory studies show that
aspirin interfered with the early
stages of blood coagulation, but
not to the extent of stopping clots
needed to stop wound bleeding.

The judge said Tuesday he can’t

“Something must be wrong,” the
judge said, “If three police officers
