In the medical literature, it is commonly acknowledged that aspirin reduces mortality in patients who have had a previous heart attack, and prevents the "second" heart attack.
However, it does not reduce mortality when used as a prophylactic agent for the "first" heart attack, but it is common practice for doctors to have their patients on aspirin for this purpose anyway.

If you are over forty, take a 81 mg tablet daily. Some studies show that you could extend your life for an extra 3 years. For example, if your normal life span is 72, you could go up to 75 with aspirin. But of course nobody knows your real life span.

Aspirine is a natural blood thinner, so it helps with heart attacks, and blood clots.
