It's not necessarily a good idea and will NOT protect you from a heart attack, in fact, it may make things worse. After I had a stroke last year, the hospitalist wanted me to take a baby aspirin every day. I told him to fly a kite. I never have done that, and I had no heart damage as confirmed by a bunch of tests and a visit to a heart "specialist" (whatever the hell that is). At any rate, I don't and won't.
