Should aspirin be given to patients with mi?
Aspirin is now widely accepted as an essential component in the early treatment of acute MI. 5 The giving of aspirin by a health professional on first contact with a patient who has chest pain and who is suspected to have a MI or acute coronary syndrome is therefore recommended, 6,7 and has become accepted practice.
Can aspirin reduce the size of a myocardial infarction?
Just as importantly, clinical trials have also strongly suggested that the early administration of aspirin can substantially reduce the size of the myocardial infarction, or convert a heart attack to unstable angina, or convert an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
Is aspirin life-saving?
Regular, standardised audits of compliance should also be conducted and their results widely disseminated. Aspirin was first shown to be life saving in 1974 1 and since then its value in the reduction of risk after myocardial infarction (MI) and in other vascular diseases has been confirmed in over 150 randomised controlled trials. 2
Is aspirin better than thrombolysis for mi?
Aspirin can be given to virtually all patients, has a far more favorable safety profile than thrombolysis, and confers a comparable benefit at a small fraction of the cost of thrombolytic agents. The more widespread use of aspirin in acute MI is one of the most important and timely clinical challenges in the United States.
What is aspirin used for?
Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is a medication used to reduce pain, fever, or inflammation. Specific inflammatory conditions which aspirin is used to treat include Kawasaki disease, pericarditis, and rheumatic fever. Aspirin given shortly after a heart attack decreases the risk of death.
What is the origin of the word Aspirin?
The word Aspirin was Bayer’s brand name; however, their rights to the trademark were lost or sold in many countries. The name is ultimately a blend of the prefix a (cetyl) + spir < Spiraea, the meadowsweet plant genus from which the acetylsalicylic acid was originally derived at Bayer + -in, the common chemical suffix.
How is aspirin synthesized?
The synthesis of aspirin is classified as an esterification reaction. Salicylic acid is treated with acetic anhydride, an acid derivative, causing a chemical reaction that turns salicylic acid’s hydroxyl group into an ester group (R-OH → R-OCOCH 3). This process yields aspirin and acetic acid, which is considered a byproduct of this reaction.
What is aspirin-resistance?
Resistance. For some people, aspirin does not have as strong an effect on platelets as for others, an effect known as aspirin-resistance or insensitivity. One study has suggested women are more likely to be resistant than men, and a different, aggregate study of 2,930 people found 28% were resistant.
