- Number of Participants Experiencing All-cause Death, Hospitalization for Nonfatal MI, or Hospitalization for Nonfatal Stroke in High-risk Patients With a History of MI or Documented Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) [ Time Frame: Time of randomization through study completion, approximately 4 years ]
- Number of Participants Experiencing All-cause Death [ Time Frame: Time of randomization through study completion, approximately 4 years ]
- Number of Participants Experiencing Hospitalization for Nonfatal MI [ Time Frame: Time of randomization through study completion, approximately 4 years ]
- Number of Participants Experiencing Hospitalization for Nonfatal Stroke [ Time Frame: Time of randomization through study completion, approximately 4 years ]
- Number of Participants Requiring Coronary Revascularization Procedures (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PCI] or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting [CABG]) [ Time Frame: Time of randomization through study completion, approximately 4 years ]
- Quality of Life and Functional Status, as Measured on a 5-point Scale [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Quality of life measures are based on an ordinal scale from 1-5, where 1 corresponds to the best outcome and 5 to the worst. Model-based mean score estimates are obtained from mixed models of each quality of life measure.
- Number of Participants Experiencing Hospitalization for Major Bleeding Complications With an Associated Blood Product Transfusion [ Time Frame: Time of randomization through study completion, approximately 4 years ]

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Known atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), defined by a history of prior myocardial infarction, prior coronary angiography showing ≥75% stenosis of at least one epicardial coronary vessel, or prior coronary revascularization procedures (either PCI or CABG), or history of chronic heart disease, CAD, ASCVD

- No history of significant GI bleed within the past 12 months
- Significant bleeding disorders that preclude the use of aspirin
- Access to the Internet. In the event that the CDRNs are notified that a cohort of patients without internet access can be included, then patient agreement will be obtained during the consent process to provide follow-up information by telephone contact with the DCRI Call Center.
- Not currently treated with an oral anticoagulant - either warfarin or a novel anticoagulant (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) - and not planned to be treated in the future with an oral anticoagulant for existing indications such as atrial fibrillation, deep venous thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism.
- Not currently treated with ticagrelor and not planned to be treated in the future with ticagrelor.
- Female patients who are not pregnant or nursing an infant
- Estimated risk of a major cardiovascular event (MACE) > 8% over next 3 years as defined by the presence of at least one or more of the following enrichment factors:

- Current cigarette smoker
- Chronic systolic or diastolic heart failure
- SBP > 140 (within past 12 mos)
- LDL > 130 (within past 12 mos)
Exclusion Criteria:
- There will be no exclusions for any upper age limit, comorbid conditions, or concomitant medications other than oral anticoagulants and ticagrelor that are used at the time of randomization, or are planned to be used during the study follow-up.
- Patients and sites interested in participating must be part of the listed health systems collaborators.
