Those suffering from "silent• heart disease, or silent ischemia, experience episodes in which their hearts are starved for oxygen due to clogged coronary arteries. These same people, however, do not suffer from tell-tale chest pain or angina. Consequently, those with silent ischemia can only know of their conditions by virtue of undergoing electrocardiograms while exercising. Once silent ischemia is diagnosed, the Lancet study indicates that it took only a 75-mg. daily dose of aspirin over a three-month period to reduce the risk of heart attack by 80 percent. Hint: One year of low daily doees of aspirin reduced the number of heart attacks among silent iachemia sufferers by one-third.
