Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
in my opinion you need to continue ecosprin until her age reaches 70 yrs.
Because ecosprin can prevent coronary event up to age of 70 years.
After the age of 70 yrs the internal bleeding risk will increase over the benefit of avoiding coronary risk.
I suppose I have given the desired response if you have any other query please write back.
Best Regards.
