Recommendations:
The U.S.
Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
strongly recommends that clinicians
discuss aspirin chemoprevention with
adults who are at increased risk for
coronary heart disease (CHD) (see "Clinical
Considerations"). Discussions
with patients should address both the
potential benefits and harms of aspirin
therapy. (A
recommendation.)
