Will missing an aspirin tablet result in cardiac arrest?

I know an old lady for whom her doctor prescribed regular aspirin tablets. 1/day at night. She is diabetic with mild hyper BP. But generaly healthy for her age. One night she forgot to have the tablet. That night she developed a cardiac arrest. I wonder if the missed aspirin tablet and cardiac arrest related.

no, missing one aspirin will not cause that, although the reason she was taking aspirin was more than likely to prevent that from happening but missing one would not bring it on, it more than likely would have happened even if she hadn't missed that one.sorry, you have a nice day!

asprin thins out the blood...possible it contributed but if she already had bad heart problems..possibly it was just her time.

i take asprin for a heart condition i have had since birth i take ot to thin out the blood and stop it sticking to platelets, which can cause a blood clot, depending on the dosage of the asprin and the reason for her taking it it can cause unwanted side effects if not taken, i do know this as i have missed taking mine a couple of times, and i have fainted, it cuases you to go dizzy and feel faitn and can also cause a odd science rythm, causing you to feel like your heart is not working right or slowing, i have been on asprin since i was 5 i am 24 now and know what it does if you miss one.
