Abstract

Acetylsalicylic acid is the most commonly used antiplatelet drug. Acetylsalicylic acid plays a key role in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular events, i.e.: acute coronary syndromes, chronic coronary syndromes, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, as well as in primary prevention in patients with diabetes and at least high risk. In chronic treatment, acetylsalicylic acid is usually used in the so-called low dose – 75–100 mg, and the selection of the appropriate dose may be influenced by the individual profile of the patient, taking into account, e.g. high patient weight, presence of diabetes and the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic events.
