After my first heart attack, back when the doctors had no clue about getting my blood pressure under control (it ran in the 216/120 range all the time), they still wanted me to take aspirin regularly. I tell this with some reservation as I have limited faith in doctors' suggested regimens. I do take an 81 mg aspirin daily at this time and the cardiologists think that's a good thing. My blood pressure is quite a bit lower now... just slightly elevated.
