====Aspirin==== In those with no previous history of heart disease, aspirin decreases the risk of a myocardial infarction but does not change the overall risk of death.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Guirguis-Blake JM, Evans CV, Senger CA, O'Connor EA, Whitlock EP | title = Aspirin for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events: A Systematic Evidence Review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force | journal = Annals of Internal Medicine | volume = 164 | issue = 12 | pages = 804β13 | date = June 2016 | pmid = 27064410 | doi = 10.7326/M15-2113 | type = Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis | doi-access = free }}</ref> Aspirin therapy to prevent heart disease is thus recommended only in adults who are at increased risk for cardiovascular events, which may include [[postmenopausal]] females, males above 40, and younger people with risk factors for coronary heart disease, including [[high blood pressure]], a family history of heart disease, or [[diabetes]]. The benefits outweigh the harms most favorably in people at high risk for a cardiovascular event, where high risk is defined as at least a 3% chance over five years, but others with lower risk may still find the potential benefits worth the associated risks.<ref name="pmid11790071">{{cite journal | author = U.S. Preventive Services Task Force | title = Aspirin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events: recommendation and rationale | journal = Annals of Internal Medicine | volume = 136 | issue = 2 | pages = 157β60 | date = January 2002 | pmid = 11790071 | doi = 10.7326/0003-4819-136-2-200201150-00015 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
