Incidence of aspirin nonresponsiveness using the Ultegra Rapid Platelet Function Assay-ASA. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • We report the incidence of aspirin nonresponsiveness in a prospective, multicenter registry (n=422 patients) to be 23% using the Ultegra Rapid Platelet Function Assay-ASA, and determined a history of coronary artery disease to be associated with twice the odds of being an aspirin nonresponder (odds ratio 2.01, 95% confidence interval 1.189 to 3.411, p=0.009). Further prospective studies are needed to correlate aspirin nonresponsiveness to adverse clinical events.
