Aspirin use is associated with a 26% raised risk of heart failure in people with at least one predisposing factor for the condition. Predisposing factors included smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
"This is the first study to report that among individuals with a least one risk factor for heart failure, those taking aspirin were more likely to subsequently develop the condition than those not using the medication," said study author Dr. Blerim Muja.
The influence of aspirin on heart failure is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate its relationship with heart failure incidence in people with and without heart disease and assess whether using the drug is related to a new heart failure diagnosis in those at risk.
The average age of participants was 67 years and 34% were women. At baseline, a total of 7,698 participants (25%) were taking aspirin. During the 5.3-year follow-up, 1,330 participants developed heart failure.
The investigators assessed the association between aspirin use and incident heart failure after adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol use, blood pressure, heart rate, blood cholesterol, creatinine, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and treatment with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, beta-blockers and lipid-lowering drugs. Taking aspirin was independently associated with a 26% raised risk of a new heart failure diagnosis.
To check the consistency of the results, the researchers repeated the analysis after matching aspirin users and non-users for heart failure risk factors. In this matched analysis, aspirin was associated with a 26% raised risk of a new heart failure diagnosis. To check the results further, the analysis was repeated after excluding patients with a history of cardiovascular disease. In 22,690 participants (74%) free of cardiovascular disease, aspirin use was associated with a 27% increased risk of incident heart failure.

Suuure it is.
In statistics, there is an old saying: “Torture the data enough and it will tell you anything you want it to say.”
What about ALL of the above?..............Asking for a friend.................
Hydroxychloroquine causes heart issues too! /s
Aspirin has been recommended as a prophylactic AGAINST heart disease for decades. Since some use it as part of an anti-Covid regimen, are they now trying to discredit it?
Yep- just happens to be discovered as blood clots PRESUMABLY from the clot shot are being widely discussed.
Yup... And that’s why millions of Doctor’s worldwide recommend aspirin if you’re having a heart-attack, and a regime of daily aspirin to stave off heart-attacks... So you will die?
Take aspirin, don’t take aspirin.
Drink coffee, it’s good for you. No it’s not.
Back in the 1950s, housewives used margarine. It was healthier. Now it’s butter that’s healthier.
Sugar is bad. But so are artificial sweeteners.
Red win is good for the heart. Maybe not.
I guess it depends on who’s funding the study.
It’s difficult to keep up.
asprin is a blood thinner... impossible that it could HURT your heart!
Bingo.
no mention of dosage or frequency
On the OTHER hand, since the medical establishment has almost universally sanctioned the use of aspirin for decades, does this mean that the establishment can be DEAD WRONG about the advisability of using certain medications? Like maybe the experimental Covid vaccines?
But the clot shot is perfectly safe.
I’ve been taking a slow-release aspirin for more than a decade on my doctor’s recommendation.
Anything that might be used instead of bioweapon2 against bioweapon1 gets a PR hack job done on it.
An acquaintance once showed me a print-out she received at a doctor visit the same day. They itemized her current conditions and listed probably a dozen ailments: diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, COPD, breast cancer, asthma, sleep apnea etc etc.. She said, “I look at this list and I don’t know whether to cry or laugh. How am I not dead with all this wrong with me?”
You touch in just a few of the foods/medicines where the expert advice seems to vary from year to year or from study to study, yet it is absolutely forbidden to question these new Covid vaccines.
