Researchers have said that they might have found a drug that could be better than aspirin at preventing heart attacks and long-term heart disease, according to a paper published on September 2.
In a meta-analysis published in both the British Medical Journal and The Lancet, scientists said that switching from aspirin to clopidogrel—a prescription medication used to prevent blood clots that may cause a heart attack or stroke—could reduce the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or death by an additional 14 percent in patients who suffer from coronary artery disease.
