Is taking aspirin good for heart attacks and stroke patients?
Aspirin is generally recommended to reduce the sorts of inflammation typically associated with the hardening of the interior lining of the arterial vessels that lead to the heart (a condition referred to as atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis) and to reduce one's chances of suffering, therefore, a heart attack or stroke, either one of which involves usually a blockage or "occlusion" inside an artery.Such a blockage, when it occurs inside the brain, may lead to the medical event called stroke. Such a blockage, when it occurs inside the heart, may lead to a medical event called a (massive) heart attack. Either event is potentially fatal. Aspirin contains properties within it that can dissolve these blockages, thereby reducing and limiting the devastating impact of such medical events or eliminating entirely the event from occurring altogether.In stroke patients (I suffered and survived a hemorrhagic stroke), aspirin may or may not be a choice of doctors to administer to a stroke patient.There are two types of stroke: an Ischemic stroke and Hemorrhagic stroke.The former involves a blockage (or "occlusion") of an artery inside the brain. The latter involves a rupture of or tear in the wall of the artery inside the brain.Therefore, aspirin or any other blood-thinning medications will be generally recommended for Ischemic stroke victims. However, for Hemorrhagic stroke victims, aspirin or other blood-thinning medications will generally NOT be administered to the patient because such agents may possibly attenuate (that is, "make thinner") the interior lining of the arterial vessel inside the brain, thereby exacerbating one's current hemorrhagic stroke condition by elevating the possibility of another "brain bleed" (aka, hemorrhagic stroke) inside the brain.In sum, administering aspirin as part of one's post-care stroke recovery wll largely depend on the type of stroke one has suffered. Aspirin may generally be recommended as part of one's post-treatment convalescence in the case of a heart attack.

Can aspirin prevent stroke?
Aspirin reduces the stickiness of platelets. This helps to prevent a thrombus from forming and reduces the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. When aspirin is used in this way, it is often referred to as 'low-dose' aspirin. Low-dose aspirin is particularly useful for people with heart or blood vessel disease.

Are there any known cures for strokes?
A stroke is caused by a blood clot getting stuck in a blood vessel in the brain. I don't know about cures, but for prevention, it is recommended you take an aspirin a day to keep any blood from clotting inside your body. If you are to undergo a surgery, please do NOT take aspirin. For cure, you may use Traditional Chinese Medicines as they have proven significant improvements with recovery. But 100% cure does not exist yet, there are no miracle cure for stroke so far. Just adds-on for your recovery and rehabilitation.
Why do people take Aspirin every day?
Some people take aspirin daily as a preventative measure to reduce their risk of heart attack or stroke, as it can help to thin the blood and prevent blood clots from forming. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting a daily aspirin regimen, as it may not be suitable for everyone and can have side effects.
