However, platelet reactivity to clopidogrel is variable and stent thrombosis can occur suddenly and unexpectedly in up to 3% of patients. Is responsiveness to clopidogrel an indicator of risk of ...

The score was validated by comparing it with actual platelet aggregation data. Further studies tested the score’s accuracy in other groups of patients, including participants in the Heart Attack ...

The field settled on 60 percent aggregation in platelet sample at 0.4 μM of epinephrine as the threshold over which platelets would be designated as hyperreactive. While this method is not new ...

Researchers explore the role of a high-fat diet in promoting the formation of premetastatic niches and platelet activation.

Via this mechanism, platelet aggregation is inhibited in response to various stimuli such as platelet activating factor (PAF), collagen and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Aspirin inhibits platelet ...
