Implication
May broaden mechanistic rationale for aspirin; leaves open whether non-platelet effects should guide dosing or selection.
Structured PICO
I
Intervention
Aspirin
The cardiovascular benefits of aspirin are mediated not only by platelet COX-1 inhibition but also by potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of its salicylate metabolite.
Cite This Study
Khan et al. (2005) conducted a review in Atherosclerosis. Aspirin was evaluated. Aspirin provides cardiovascular benefits not only through platelet inhibition but also via platelet-independent mechanisms including reduction of oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction.
