📩 Contact us: [email protected] In this episode of Talking With Docs, Dr. Paul and Dr. Brad are joined by cardiologist Dr. Heffernan to answer one of the most common questions in heart health: should you be taking daily aspirin? For years, aspirin was considered a simple way to prevent heart attacks and strokes but new research shows it may not be right for everyone. Together, the doctors break down who should take it, who shouldn’t, and why. You’ll learn: - How aspirin works in the body to prevent clots - When it’s prescribed for heart disease prevention (and when it’s not) - The difference between primary and secondary prevention - Risks and side effects you need to know - What the latest guidelines say about daily aspirin use If you or someone you love has been told to “just take an aspirin a day,” this episode is a must-watch for understanding when that advice helps and when it can do more harm than good. 🎧 Listen on Your Favourite Platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3OFxEjictC41CCS1z2AVKe Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/talking-with-docs/id1799242189 YouTube Music: • TWD Podcast 👕 Shop Our MERCH: https://www.spreadshirt.ca/shop/user/talking+with+docs/ ❤️ Support Oakville Hospital: https://donate.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com 📱 Follow Us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkingwithdocs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingwithdocs/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063617375848 🛑 DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.
