BACKGROUND
Obesity is a cluster of medical conditions affecting several pathophysiological processes, including platelet (PLT) function.
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the association between obesity and PLT response to dual antiplatelet therapy over 1 month in patients with stable angina pectoris after
BACKGROUND
There is uncertainty about optimal strategies for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis among select populations such as patients with renal insufficiency, obesity, or patients taking antiplatelet drugs including aspirin. Their physiologies make prophylaxis particularly
BACKGROUND
Obesity is a cardiovascular risk factor, but the obesity paradox in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention is poorly understood.
RESULTS
Assessment of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy With Drug-Eluting Stents (ADAPT-DES) was a prospective, multicenter study of patients undergoing
Antiplatelet therapy has become a cornerstone in the management of many vascular diseases. With growing antiplatelet options, attention has focused on their comparative effectiveness in specific patient populations. Perhaps one of the least defined factors influencing efficacy of these agents is
The current study aimed to investigate the effect of Citrullus colocynthis (C. colocynthis) hydro-alcoholic extract on blood haemostasis in control and high-fat diet (HFD) induced obese rats. In control rats, the extract significantly enhanced bleeding time and plasma levels of tPA and significantly
We evaluated the impact of triple antiplatelet therapy on platelet reactivity, reducing cardiovascular events and the safety in obese patients undergoing coronary stenting. Obese patients (n = 428) undergoing coronary stenting were randomly assigned to 2 groups: standard dual group (clopidogrel plus
This data article is associated with the manuscript "GPVI surface expression and signalling pathway activation are increased in platelets from obese patients: elucidating potential anti-atherothrombotic targets in obesity" [1]. The study refers to a combination of different approaches in
Herein we describe a novel animal model for examining the survival and function of human platelets following their circulation in non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice. Resting human platelets in platelet-rich plasma are introduced into the retro-orbital plexus, where they are
Platelet dysfunction, oxidative stress and dyslipidemia are important contributors to pro-thrombotic progression particularly in obese and hyper-cholesterolemic populations. Becoming an increasingly widespread endemic, obesity causes a dysfunction in the metabolic system by initiating endothelial
OBJECTIVE
Clopidogrel is a commonly used P2Y
12 inhibitor to treat and prevent arterial thrombotic events. Clopidogrel is a prodrug that requires bioactivation by CYP (cytochrome P450) enzymes to exert
antiplatelet activity. Diabetes mellitus is associated with an
This review describes the current status of antiplatelet therapy in prevention of cardiovascular events of an atherothrombotic nature. The efficacy of aspirin clearly outweighs bleeding risk in secondary prevention, with the relevant exception of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). In
We reported a case of a 38-year-old woman with both massive proteinuria and severe obesity. We diagnosed her as metabolic syndrome from her waist size of over 90 cm around her umbilicus, hyperlipidemia (high TG level) and hypertension. The urinary protein was more than 3.5 g/day and body mass index
