    It’s inaccurate that it doesn’t do anything. What you posted doesn’t say that, it says the risks outweigh the benefits - not that the benefits don’t exist.

    Aspirin absolutely lowers the effort exerted by your cardiovascular system, specifically your myocardial tissue, by preventing blood platelet aggregation.

    But as what you cited noted, that means it also inhibits clotting, the risks of which they’ve understandably determined outweigh the benefits.
