Could taking ½ and Aspirin, used by Angina sufferers to thin the blood, increase the flow and reduce my chances of a reoccurrence. ?

See Simon's post above.

For clarification - aspirin does not "thin the blood", what it does is help prevent blood clots in certain situations by interfering with the action of the platelets which are partly responsible for clot fromation.
