Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease is less effective in women
Aspirin is one of the standard treatments for people who have coronary artery disease, because it prevents blood clots that can block the artery. But a new study analyzed the effectiveness of aspirin in different people, and found that the treatment is suprisingly less effective in women. See what other differences you can find regarding women and heart disease.

I first misread the title of the article believing that Coronary Artery Disease is less effective in women. I was a bit relieved to find it to be the opposite, however still concerned about why or what would cause such a thing. I followed the link to the article of the study and read about why aspirin was not as effective in women. This led me to wonder what other different effects that possibly aspirin might have between men and women rather than differences in men and women in heart disease. I found that aspirin cuts the risk of stroke within women and not men. There were also some other very interesting facts in the article. Here is the link:
