strokes, report says
NEW ORLEANS ? The
risk of strokes resulting from
irregular heart beats, which
strike 75,000 Americans annually,
can be cut in half
simply by taking a single aspirin
tablet each day, according
to a study published
Thursday.
These strokes are triggered
by extremely rapid beating
of the atria, the heart's upper
chambers, a condition called
atrial fibrillation. About 1.2
million people have this abnormality,
and until now
most have gone untreated.
