Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor P2Y12 plays a pivotal role in platelet aggregation, as demonstrated by the benefit conferred by its blockade in patients with cardiovascular disease. Some studies have shown interindividual differences in ADP-induced platelet aggregation responses ex vivo, but the mechanisms underlying this variability are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We examined ADP-induced...
