For how long should aspirin be taken after ACS according to the drug therapy for secondary prevention?

  1. 6 months

  2. 1 year

  3. 3 years

  4. Indefinitely

The correct answer is: Indefinitely

After an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event, aspirin is typically recommended for indefinite use as part of the drug therapy for secondary prevention. Aspirin helps prevent blood clot formation by inhibiting platelet aggregation, which is crucial after an ACS event to reduce the risk of further cardiovascular events. Therefore, indefinitely taking aspirin can help in the long-term management and prevention of recurrent cardiovascular issues in patients who have experienced ACS.
