Adding heparin is justified only in a particular disease. A very low dose is enough (100 mg a day) to begin as soon as the pregnancy is known. How does it work? *That* is a good question. Aspirin is an anti platelet drug. Its mild effect seems to be enough. Anyway the way it works is not important if it works. And it does.
