A far better choice for “coronary events” is to carry a tincture of capsaicin. The Capsaicin does more than just stop the attack; it actually speeds the healing of the damaged tissue. If you’re not much on capsaicin, the next best choice would be Strodival tablets. They stop the attack by neutralizing the lactic acid, and also aid in healing the damage.
Aspirin is only marginal in relieving the attack, and does nothing toward preventing the recurrance.
I’ve heard that but had forgotten it.
