Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form blood clots that stop bleeding in injured vessels. Cardiologists have long known that platelets can become "hyperreactive" to cause ...

A new study created a score to identify patients with platelet hyperreactivity and risk of related, future cardiovascular disease. Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form ...

Current platelet function assays rely on light transmission aggregometry or proprietary cartridge-based systems, which require specialized expertise, dedicated instruments, and expensive consumables ...

A novel score of platelet reactivity expression appears promising for detecting hyperreactivity in patients at increased risk for cardiovascular events, potentially allowing clinicians to better ...

Aspirin is widely prescribed for the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke and acute coronary syndromes, but some patients do not respond to this therapy. There is evidence that these ...

March 6, 2009 (Munich, Germany) — More evidence that patients with a low platelet responsiveness to clopidogrel have an increased risk of stent thrombosis has come from a new study, with the ...

April 10, 2009 (Munich, Germany) — A new study using platelet-aggregometry testing to assess the effects of different proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) on platelet response to clopidogrel suggests that ...

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 10, 2025 – A simple blood test for platelet activity at middle age could one day help identify people at risk for Alzheimer’s disease decades ahead of time, allowing for possible ...

A bleeding assessment tool yielded higher scores for patients with suspected or confirmed platelet function disorders. The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis’ bleeding assessment tool ...

Background Long-term success in ventricular assist device (VAD) recipients is limited by thromboembolic events, the prediction of which remains elusive. We evaluated the predictive value of aspirin ...

Even relatively mild anemia predicts high residual platelet reactivity following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients pre-treated with clopidogrel, according to data published online ...
