Many hypertensive patients are using aspirin, this drug, not antihypertensive drugs, but in the prevention of heart attack is quite important. There are many misconceptions about aspirin, some people think that hypertension requires aspirin and should not be eaten indiscriminately; some people are worried that aspirin will be eaten out of the stomach bleeding, so they are afraid to eat. Aspirin is very important in the treatment and control of cardiovascular disease, but it does not mean that all hypertensive patients should eat aspirin. What kind of hypertensive patients need to use aspirin? According to the 2010 Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Hypertension, 100 mg of aspirin per day is recommended for hypertensive patients with the following conditions: 1. a history of angina pectoris or myocardial infarction; 2. a history of cerebral thrombosis or transient ischemic attack; 3. a history of vasculitis that increases the risk of blood clots (e.g., occlusive peripheral atherosclerosis). 4.Patients with hypertension without the above conditions are also recommended to take low-dose aspirin (75-100 mg per day) if they have: 5.Organ damage due to hypertension, e.g., left ventricular hypertrophy, carotid plaque, renal abnormalities; 6.Have type 2 diabetes. 7, If the risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease > 10% within 10 years as assessed by a physician, you can also take small doses of aspirin for prevention. Precautions for taking aspirin 1. Take aspirin under the guidance of your doctor. Generally, doctors will only let patients take aspirin after their blood pressure is relatively stable (< 150 / 90 mmHg). If taken without authorization when blood pressure is not well controlled, it may increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. 2. Because long-term application of aspirin may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, it is best to have a gastrointestinal examination before application to exclude risk factors and take appropriate measures. For example, patients with H. pylori infection, it is best to eradicate H. pylori before using aspirin. 3. Patients with active gastric ulcer, severe liver disease, or bleeding disorders are prohibited from taking aspirin.
