Answer to Question 1
Baby aspirin works as both an anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting agent (it blocks an enzyme that helps platelets aggregate). The downside to the use of daily aspirin is that it can increase the chance of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, so baby aspirin is the minimum effective low risk dose.
Answer to Question 2
Among workers in general, the mix of job strain, low job control, and low social support is related to coronary vascular disease (CVD). In a review of research on work stress and cardiovascular disease, Landsbergis and his colleagues concluded that the psychological stress of having a low degree of control known as low decision latitude was the most consistent predictor of CVD. They cited as support for their conclusion studies such as Haynes and Feinleib's Framingham Heart Study that found clerical workers to be twice as likely as white collar workers (e.g., managers) to have heart disease.
