Abstract excerpt
We studied the effect of prophylactic aspirin (ASA) ingestion on platelet function in 463 patients with stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) or acute coronary disease (ACD), using the Platelet Function Analyzer-100 (PFA-100). We correlated ASA responsiveness with haplotypes of seven candidate genes, selected for their documented role in platelet function, namely, the genes for integrins alpha2beta1and...
