Pages THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1980 Study shows aspirin no heart attack cure United Press International WASHINGTON — A major three-year, government-sponsored study has failed to confirm earlier indications a few aspirin a day might reduce the risk of a repeat heart attack. The disappointing findings prompted the National Heart, Lung 6 CAMPUS Showtlmes 7:45 & 9:45 846-65121 A story about having the courage to be what you TTrmjTTi 9 ooooooooooooooooo and Blood Institute to advise doctors not to give aspirin on a regular basis to cardiac patients in an effort to pre vent recurrent heart attacks. The $17 million study was con ducted at 30 medical centers after several earlier studies suggested the anti-blood clotting effects of aspirin reduced the risk of a repeat stroke. At least one study indicated aspirin reduced the risk of second heart attacks. Dr. Robert I. Levy, director of the institute, said the difference in death rates in the new heart attack study was not significant between 2,257 patients who took three aspirin a day and 2,267 who took placebo pills. “In fact, there were slightly more deaths due to recurring heart attacks in the group which took the aspirin,” Levy said. The report, released Monday, will be published in next week’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study found the rate of non- fatal heart attacks was slightly lower in the patients taking aspirin. But Levy said the incidence of digestive system problems, such as ulcer symptoms, was considerably higher in those taking aspirin. Stroke and the onset of stroke symptoms did occur less often in the group of heart attack patients taking aspirin than the group given the placebo, the report said. But the re sults were not considered statistical ly significant according to the guide lines established for the study.
