- The study hypothesized that the proportion of patients taking aspirin would be greater for those patients with risk factors than those without risk factors
- This was true when looking at patients with either known coronary artery disease or patients with known hypercholesteremia
- It is disappointing to point out that patients with multiple known risk factors had a higher likelihood of not using aspirin
- It was reported that for some of the risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes, only 1/3 of the patients took aspirin
