Hovedbudskap
- Nytten av acetylsalisylsyre er veldokumentert ved sekundærprofylakse av kardiovaskulære sykdommer
- Primærprofylaktisk behandling med acetylsalisylsyre hos friske individer er ikke indisert fordi nytteeffekten er minimal
- Primærprofylaktisk behandling med acetylsalisylsyre hos individer med minst én risikofaktor for utvikling av koronar hjertesykdom kan være et behandlingsalternativ, men totalgevinsten er også her relativt liten. Blodtrykket må være normalisert.
