NHS recommends aspirin for heart attack emergencies in families with heart issues.

Families with a history of heart issues are encouraged to keep aspirin at home for emergencies, as it can be life-saving during heart attacks.

Quick access to aspirin is vital while waiting for paramedics, which can take up to seven minutes. Recognizing heart attack symptoms is also essential.
