Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in most countries of the world, they lead to an increase in the disability of the adult population, which is accompanied by an increase in economic costs. It is not accidental that CVD is nowadays called the «epidemic of the XXI century». According to epidemiological data in the Russian Federation — coronary heart disease (СHD) is one of the main causes of death and disability of patients. The prevalence of СHD in our country is 13.5%, in the US — almost 2 times lower — 7%. It is expected that by 2030 from СHD and stroke, about 23.6 million people will die. According to forecasts, these diseases will remain the main individual causes of death. Understanding the causes of the development of these diseases, as well as expanding opportunities in their prevention, diagnosis and treatment is one of the key priorities of today’s cardiology. To a patient with СHD, the clinician should prescribe pathogenetic therapy not only for the purpose of correcting the quality of life, but also for improving the prognosis and reducing the risk of cardiovascular mortality. The article fully presents the role of acetylsalicylic acid in secondary prevention of CVD, in particular СHD and myocardial infarction.
