Abstract excerpt
Platelet response to clopidogrel shows inter-individual variability that is partially explained by genetic polymorphisms. This variability affects clinical outcome when clopidogrel is administered in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Catecholamines, released during ACS, contribute to platelet aggregation through platelet alpha2A-(alpha2A-AR) and beta2-adrenergic receptor (beta2-AR) stimulation. It was...
