Here's an update for you--there's new research out there that says there's no benefit of taking low dose aspirin in older healthy adults. Here's the study if you're into it: www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/daily-low-dose-aspirin-found-have-no-effect-healthy-life-span-older-people

I know all the causes for a stroke, but that's not the video is about. The video is about how low dose aspirin, helps prevent a stroke. Also i think i'll be sticking with the doctor's prescribed treatments rather than some random KZbin comment advice. Also, also i never said she died.@@gasperstarina9837

My kidney function went down with aspirin and it wasnt really helping with my platelets, my platelets were about 430. I switched to cayenne pepper, thats right! Cayenne pepper, and my platelets went down to 256, and the cayenne fixes the bleeding damage caused by aspirin and helps with digestion and thins the blood. So im sticking with cayenne, tyvm...

@lanternofthegreen 6 жыл бұрын

What I understand is COX-1 plays a key role for forming blood clot so blocking it out prevents new clots from forming. But what about an already formed clot staying intact? Does it play a role in that, too? If not, what I assume is blocking COX-1 with aspirin only stops new clots from forming, which is already good enough. But you've mentioned that if someone is having a heart attack the doctors give the patient 325mg of it, for... 'dissolving' the already formed clot?

@maggus999 6 жыл бұрын

I'm just guessing here, but heart attacks doesn't have to come with an immediate passing out / collapse, some can be slowly progressing over hours. If you're a ways off from a hospital taking something to inhibit further clotting seems to be a very good idea. I know of a guy (an optomitrist, funnily enough) who responded to his first attack by taking a long hot shower to relieve the felt shoulder pain (he responded well to actual medical treatment after). My question is rather: Should you always take an aspirin if you have one available if you suspect a heart attack and are a considerable distance from treatment?

@mathematix-rodcast 6 жыл бұрын

Aspirin is not a clot buster. So, it does not break a clot down. Aspirin forms a covalent (irreversible) bond with the cyclo-oxengase enzyme's active site so that no further platelet activation can occur so that clotting cannot ensue. The agents that dissolve clots are called fibrinolytic therapies and are only available at hospitals as intravenous medications. There are several marketed agents alteplase, tenecteplase and reteplase. I think it is really about preventing further platelet recruitment that will save the patient's life. Perhaps, allowing a patient's own endogenous plasminogen/plasmin to do its job is enough to prevent significant harm. Plasmin is the compound that breaks the chemical bonds in fibrin, which is in the clot itself.

@mathematix-rodcast 6 жыл бұрын

So, that optometrist actually caused his vessels to vasodilate, which is a huge factor in clot formation. When vessels are clamped down and have a very narrow diameter, platelets form clots very readily. However, once vasodilation occurs, the clot can free itself from where it is lodged or at least allow blood to circulate passed the point of occlusion. This is huge since it is the lack for perfusion that kills your cerebral, pulmonary or cardiac tissue. @@maggus999

@maggus999 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the insight! Because I don't know, I struggle to decide whether it's a good or bad thing to vasodilate, you only mention it's huge, but not in a negative or positive way? I imagine positive, but then again as I understand it deep vein trombosis are dangerous precisely because they break loose and lodge somewhere more critical?

@mathematix-rodcast 6 жыл бұрын

The vasodilation is almost always positive. In fact, there is a negative correlation of vasodilation and thromboembolism. In cases of high blood pressure, the vasoconstriction drives the disease, which causes heart attacks and strokes. However, it is not positive in cases of shock like septic shock and anaphylactic shock, but those have nothing to do with thromboembolic events, and those are really extreme cases of vasodilation. Thromboemboli are critical when they land/lodge in pulmonary or cerebral tissue or even a cardiac vessel. In the first case, that is a pulmonary embolus, and it has a high association with death. If the thrombus embolizes to cerebral tissue, then it is a stroke, and the last case is of course a heart attack. @@maggus999

I would like to know, I didn't quite understand how it is that platelets detect that there's a wound. Does it have to be something with detecting a difference in the chemistry between the blood solution and what's outside of it?

My father has 2 stents in his heart. He takes Angispan TR 2.5 in 8am and 4pm and Ecosprin 75mg once a day after lunch along with Axcer 90mg after breakfast and after dinner. I'm pretty much sure taking Angispan TR 2.5mg is safe with Ecosprin 75mg provided you space it out between two medicines. Or, better talk to doctor.

Aspirin in the United States was originally dosed of the measuring unit known as grains. The 325 mg aspirin was 5 grains, where 1 grain is approximately 65 mg. So, this is how it reached it status as its dosing regimen in the United States.
