Several prospective studies have shown that high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity (HPR) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a risk factor for ischemic events. All studies were insufficiently powered to detect differences in stroke between patients with HPR and those
Systemic atherosclerosis is involved in ischemic damages and cardioembolism after atrial fibrillation (AF)-related ischemic stroke (IS). Platelet activation is a critical factor in systemic atherosclerosis; however, there is little information regarding the role of platelet activation on the outcome
BACKGROUND
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between thromboelastography adenosine diphosphate maximum amplitude (TEG-ADPMA) and recurrent ischemic events in patients with minor ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA).
METHODS
A total of 265 patients received dual
High residual platelet activation (HRPA) after ADP stimuli has associated with recurrent vascular events in acute atherothrombosis with the use of antiplatelet agents (APAs). However, there has been little evidence supporting this association in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In this study, we
Despite its widespread use, there are many concerns about the efficacy of aspirin in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events after stroke, leading to the concept of aspirin non-response (ANR). Although the mechanisms of ANR remain uncertain, it is expected to be due to a combination of
Antiplatelet resistance is one of the urgent issues in current stroke care. One-third to one-half of the patients who experience a recurrent stroke is already on antiplatelet medications. We studied resistance to aspirin and clopidogrel in Indian stroke patients and its association High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) was suggested to be better correlated with recurrent ischemic events as compared with gene polymorphism, whereas most of the results were from white populations with acute coronary disease. The evidence is relatively limited regarding HTPR and its genetic
Prasugrel, a novel P2Y12 receptor antagonist, has been shown to be more effective than clopidogrel for preventing cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. We investigated the dose-response antiplatelet effects of
BACKGROUND
Biologic sex can influence response to pharmacologic therapy. The purpose of this proof-of-concept study was to evaluate the medicating effects of estrogen in the efficacy of acute antiplatelet loading therapy on stroke outcome in the rabbit small clot embolic model.
METHODS
Female and
Although acute myocardial infarction (MI) and acute ischemic stroke share similarities, physicians need to recognize important differences in pathophysiology and how these differences affect acute treatment and prevention to provide optimal patient care. Potential causes of acute ischemic stroke are
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is the most widely studied and prescribed antiplatelet drug for patients at high risk of vascular disease. It affects a single pathway in the platelet activation process and provides incomplete protection against cardiovascular events. Adenosine diphosphate receptor
Ex vivo dipyridamole 'non-responsiveness' has not been extensively studied in ischaemic cerebrovascular disease. Platelet surface marker expression, leucocyte-platelet complex formation and inhibition of platelet function at high shear stress as detected by the PFA-100®
Recently published data indicate that CYP2C19*2 allele is the major determinant of metabolic bioactivation of clopidogrel and thereby variability of antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel in white or black patients undergoing elective coronary stent placement. The conclusion may not be fully generalized
The aim of this study was to observe whether acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) had different effects in both sexes. Out of the ischemic stroke patients who were admitted to the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), those who had not taken ASA or ASA-like drugs for more than 2 weeks were selected for
BACKGROUND
Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) due to its antiplatelet action is used in ischemic stroke therapy. The platelet response to ASA shows an interindividual variation. Decreased platelet sensitivity to ASA is termed as resistance to ASA.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence
