Studies have shown that taking a 325 mg dose of aspirin at the onset of chest pain or any other symptoms of a heart attack prevents blood platelets from sticking together so that the blood clot does not grow larger and block the artery. Most people carry other pain medications with them; however, those products do not prevent blood platelets from sticking together.
A heart attack, myocardial infarction (MI), is usually triggered by the rupture of plaque within the coronary artery. When the plaque ruptures, a blood clot begins to form which leads to blockage in the artery. The heart muscle, which is supplied by the blocked artery, begins to weaken and in some cases die – which leads to a heart attack. The biggest problem associated with heart attacks is the growth of the blood clot within the affected artery. The formation of the blood clot depends on the blood platelets or tiny blood cells, which aid in the process of blood clotting. Aspirin, in small doses, can rapidly and powerfully inhibit the activity of the platelets, which inevitably prevents the growth of the blood clot.

Inhibiting the growth of the blood clot in the affected artery is critical, since it’s important to prevent the heart muscles from dying by supplying some blood flow to the coronary artery. Ingesting an aspirin is, within minutes of experiencing symptoms, is crucial. Most physicians advise patients not to wait until they receive medical help—rather they should take an aspirin immediately if they are concerned.
