No, in addition, at least in spain, the aspirine that we use to prevent clogs it is particularly coated to allow longer effect and avoid stomach issues.

That is a good question. The European Journal of Heart Failure 2003 June5(3) 271-9 suggested that when treated with ACE inhibiters 325 mg of aspirin is contraindicated. Am J. Heart 1999, Aug 1, 38 p254-260 recommends caution in high doses of aspirin which may cause worsening of the condition with exercise and interfering with gas exchange. If you go to the Pubmed government data base you can see several studies that suggest raising the dose to 325 might not be such a good idea. But there are other considerations, so I would follow the recommendations of your cardiologist.
