Predictive values of post-treatment adenosine diphosphate-induced aggregation and vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein index for stent thrombosis after acute coronary syndrome in clopidogrel-treated patients.

13 Oct 2009 A low response to clopidogrel has been associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis. However, the definition of a nonresponse to clopidogrel remains controversial, and different tests have been used to assess the clopidogrel response. The ... Read more...

Clinical benefit of early reperfusion therapy in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction usually excluded from randomized clinical trials (results from the Maximal Individual Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction Plus [MITRA Plus] registry).

13 Oct 2009 Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) usually enroll selected patient populations that may not be representative for patients seen in everyday practice. Therefore, concerns have been raised regarding their external validity. For the present study we ... Read more...

Role of clopidogrel loading dose in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary angioplasty: results from the HORIZONS-AMI (harmonizing outcomes with revascularization and stents in acute myocardial infarction) trial.

4 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine whether a 600-mg loading dose of clopidogrel compared with 300 mg results in improved clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary ... Read more...
