Medicines after heart failure

My sister (65 years) underwent aortic valve replacement surgery ( biosopetic) before 3 years and has been taking ACITROM 2 mg + ASPIRIN 75 mg since then. Now the doctor ( not the one who treated her) has asked her to stop aspirin as her blood vessels are normal. Is it ok? She feels uneasy as she knows both act differently to prevent blood clot?

  1. Dealing with heart failure and medications myself I would ask the doctor that treated her what's the best option.

    1. thanks! But the medical system in India does not have the ‘accountability’ as here. My sister could never see the dr who operated on her again. Only useless juniors. Just wanted to know if anyones facing the same problem of having negative effects of aspirin + warfarin & what they were advised.
