MORE : "Word came out last week that regular aspirin therapy does not protect middle-aged women from heart attack in the same way it protects men - but that it does protect women from stroke. (And if you are a woman over 65, an aspirin every other day may protect you from both.)It's a good news / bad news scenario, and one that a woman should discuss with her doctor if she is at risk of heart disease.
But what's also important is that these results come from a clinical trial that focused specifically on women, proving again the value of focusing clinical trials by gender."
