In physiological hemostasis a prompt recruitment of platelets on the vessel damage prevents
the bleeding by the rapid formation of a platelet plug. Qualitative and/or quantitative platelet …

The two most widely used antiplatelet drugs in the world are aspirin and clopidogrel.
However, some patients on aspirin and/or clopidogrel therapy do not respond appropriately …

The actual incidence of neurologic dysfunction resulting from hemorrhagic complications
associated with neuraxial blockade is unknown. Although the incidence cited in the literature …

Background—The clinical impact of platelet aggregation assessed by point-of-care assays is
unknown. We sought to evaluate whether high residual platelet reactivity (RPR) to ADP …

Aims The aim of this study was to determine whether platelet reactivity on clopidogrel
therapy, as measured by a point-of-care platelet function assay, is associated with …

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate the relationship between platelet microRNA (miR-
223 and miR-96) expression and clopidogrel responsiveness in patients with coronary heart …

event rates with progressively higher quartiles of residual reactivity (or lower quartiles of
responsiveness). Although this observation is limited by the relatively small number of …

Aims We investigated the comparability of platelet function tests in quantifying platelet
inhibition achieved by clopidogrel. Methods and results This pre-specified substudy of a …

Small studies have indicated that drug-drug interactions and such clinical characteristics as
diabetes mellitus may increase residual platelet reactivity in patients on clopidogrel therapy …

This study sought to compare Multiplate impedance platelet aggregometry (IPA) with light
transmission aggregometry (LTA) and the PFA-100 for determining the prevalence of …
