Summary
The study is going to compare two different doses of aspirin for the treatment of heart
disease in combination with the anticlotting medication ticagrelor. One of these doses of
aspirin, 75 milligrams (mg) once a day, is the current standard treatment dose of aspirin
used to treat heart attacks and angina. The other, 20 mg twice a day, is lower than the
standard but there is growing scientific evidence that, when given with ticagrelor, this
might offer advantages over the usual dose.
