A platelet aggregation test checks how well your platelets clump together to form blood clots. Platelets are a type of blood cell. They help form blood clots by sticking together. A clot is what stops ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
