Statins in primary prevention are safer than aspirin, which is widely available OTC, say experts. Maybe aspirin shouldn't be OTC? Or maybe statins should? Alan Jacobsen Roger Blumenthal Seth Martin

Interesting thread if you're thinking that taking a daily #aspirin will prevent a heart attack: Also interesting: the common practice of daily aspirin in those with no history of heart disease was based on a TYPO in the The BMJ myheartsisters.org/2009/09/18/asp… Alan Jacobsen

I believe this JAHA paper contains serious food for thought around patient understanding and access to aspirin. A serious issue. @NUIGalwayMed NIPC Alan Jacobsen Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…

What's new in this paper? -An overview of the NAM Action Collaborative to counter the climate impact of healthcare -Review data on the climate impact of CVD care including cath & EP labs, critical care, digital health -What practicing clinicians can do to minimize this impact
