Heart study: Low- and regular-dose aspirin safe, effective | Health And Fitness
An unusual study that had thousands of heart disease patients enroll themselves and track their health online as they took low- or regular-strength aspirin concludes that both doses seem equally safe and effective for preventing additional heart problems and strokes.

All athletes returned to sports without any health concerns, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association’s flagship journal Circulation.
