Abstract

In 2002, Annals published a systematic review of aspirin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Because few women participated in previous trials, the evidence that women benefit was inconclusive until the March 2005 publication of the Women's Health Study. We explain how this study clarifies the use of aspirin to prevent cardiovascular disease in women.
