Low dose aspirin is given to maintain normal blood clotting and therefore protect against problems like a heart attack in people at risk. (Heart attack is caused by blockage of the arteries in your heart by a blood clot).
If you have high blood pressure and your doctor thinks you might have an extra risk she will recommend you take low-dose aspirin. However it is important to understand that it is not a treatment for high blood pressure - it is to reduce your cardiovascular risk.

Why is 81 mg and not 80 mg the aspirin dose for children?
This is a vestige of the old system of measuring medications in grains. Follow the math, 1 grain = 64.79 mg 5 grains = standard aspirin dose = 323.99 mg or about our current dose of 325 mg. When we started doing research on the efficacy of Aspirin; we found that for cardiac prevention half of the standard dose was effective (i.e. 162.5 mg). Then we figured out that half of the new dose would also work or 81mg .... This is at least the story that is passed down in medical school ... beware - half of what you hear in medical school is wrong, we just don't know which half ....
