Taking a low-dose aspirin for heart health has been a staple of many Americans' daily routines. But medical experts say for some people, that routine may be doing more harm than good. Here is Ellie Janszen to tell us why. Millions of Americans take daily aspirin, but many of them may be doing so based on outdated advice.

Findings from a new study indicate that taking low-dose aspirin may not be in the best interest of older folks.
