Abstract Background: Aspirin is the key treatment in the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. High on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) to aspirin has been reported to partially account for the enhanced risk of thrombotic events. In particular, HTPR has been described more frequently among elderly patients. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical and biological factors associated with HTPR in a real-life elderly population.Methods: In this retrospective study, elderly patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease on regular aspirin treatment were enrolled. Cardiovascular risk factors, routine biological parameters, comorbidities, and concomitant medications were recorded. The upper quartile of the platelet aggregation rate, determined by light transmission aggregometry with arachidonic acid, was defined as the HTPR group.Results: A total of 304 patients were included (mean age 77 ± 8 years, 76% men). Patients in the HTPR group were older than the patients in the non-HTPR group (mean age: 79 ± 7 vs. 76 ± 8 years, p = 0.008). Patients with moderately decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) had a higher frequency of HTPR than patients with slightly decreased eGFR or normal eGFR (35.8%, 22.5%, 12.2%, respectively, p < 0.05). In multivariate analysis, an independent risk factor for HTPR was the eGFR (OR: 0.984, 95% CI: 0.980-0.988, p < 0.001).Conclusions: Advanced age and decreased eGFR are correlated with poor pharmacodynamic response to aspirin.

Despite the unmistakable beneficial effect of clopidogrel on platelet aggregation,still there are some patient poorly responds to clopidogrel that may lead to worse cardiovascular clinical events.One hundred and twenty seven patients with cardiovascular disease (ACS,stroke,or TIA) were enrolled as a study group. Patients were recruited at coronary care unit (CCU) of Al-Yarmouk Teaching Hospital. Paletlet assessment was done by using light transmission aggregometry. between the patients that enrolled in this study there are significant inter-individual variability both skewness and Kurtosis were negative (-0.450,-0.130) respectively. 24% of patient enrolled in this study were hyporesponder.

Artery Disease

Aspirin is essential in secondary prevention of patients after myocardial infarction and with coronary artery disease. However, impaired pharmacodynamic response to aspirin is frequent (high on-treatment platelet reactivity [HTPR]). This leads to an enhanced prevalence of cardiovascular events and to an impaired clinical outcome. The current specific assays to evaluate aspirin antiplatelet effects are complex, time-consuming and demand for a high laboratory expertise. Therefore, we developed a potentially bedside assay based on the determination of malondialdehyde (MDA). MDA is a by-product of the thromboxane (TX) formation, which is synthesized in equimolar concentrations. In this study, we compared this MDA assay to the conventional assays in determination of pharmacodynamic aspirin response. For this, aspirin antiplatelet effects were measured in 22 healthy individuals and 63 aspirin treated patients using TX B2 formation enzyme-linked antibody assay, arachidonic acid induced light transmission aggregometry (LTA) and the new fluorometric MDA assay. In patients, MDA levels correlated well with TX formation (R = 0.81; 95% CI 0.69–0.88; p < 0.001) and LTA (R = 0.84; CI 0.74–0.91; p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic analyses revealed that the MDA assay does detect HTPR to aspirin sufficiently (area under the curve: 0.965; p < 0.001). The optimal cut-off was > 128 nmol/L (sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 91%). The new MDA assay is reliable in detecting HTPR. It is highly specific in the evaluation of antiplatelet effects by aspirin. This promising and potential bedside assay needs to be evaluated in clinical practice.

SummaryThere is need to improve platelet function testing to monitor the response to antiplatelet drugs. We compared flow-cytometric analysis of intraplatelet vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein phosphorylation (VASP-P) to light-transmission aggregometry for the detection of drug-induced in-vitro inhibition of the platelet P2Y12 ADP receptor on 22 healthy subjects (10 males, 12 females, 28.5 ± 6.6 years). The platelet reactivity index (PRI) of VASP was calculated both from mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and percent of fluorescence-positive platelets in the presence of PGE1 with or without ADP (10 µM). Platelet aggregation was induced by ADP (1.25, 2.5 and 5 µM). Cangrelor, a competitive inhibitor of the P2Y12 receptor, preincubated 5 minutes, induced a concentration-dependent inhibition of platelet ADP-receptor function in both tests. Indeed PRI (%) based on either MFI or percent platelets gated were highly correlated with each other (r = 0.97, p<0.0001) and with aggregation in- duced by ADP. The IC50 of cangrelor against each of the three ADP concentrations used in aggregometry increased from 5.8 ± 3.4 nM to 23.1 ± 4.0 nM and to 98 ± 25 nM, respectively. The IC50 of cangrelor based on VASP-P was within the same range (25.5 ± 7.7 nM). No correlation was observed between IC50 values of cangrelor and ADP concentrations giving 50% effect (EC50) in the absence of the drug. However, at 10 nM cangrelor seven subjects could be identified by the VASP-P assay as “low responders” to the drug (PRI> 50%), and six of them also had an aggregation response to 5 µM ADP > 50%. These six subjects showed the lowest ADP EC50 values in the absence of the drug, possibly reflecting high sensitivity of their platelet P2Y12 receptors to ADP. In conclusion, both the VASP-P assay and light-transmission aggregometry detect in a comparable way in-vitro pharmacological inhibition of the platelet P2Y12 ADP receptor and its individual variability.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of dipyrone on sensitivity to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid [ASA]) in patients who underwent peripheral artery vascular reconstruction. Subjects and Methods: Impedance aggregometry and light transmission aggregometry were used to determine the effects of dipyrone on ASA treatment in 21 patients. Blood samples were drawn in a 7-day period after the surgery. The cut-off value for high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) was set at < 65% of aggregation inhibition for impedance aggregometry. For light transmission aggregometry the cut-off value for arachidonic acid-induced aggregation was set at > 20% of aggregating platelets, and the cut-off value for epinephrine-induced aggregation was > 44% of aggregating platelets. The cut-off value for each method was derived from a large number of patients treated with a daily dose of 100 mg of ASA. Results: We found HTPR in 14 (67%) of the 21 patients. None had primary resistance to ASA, i.e., after the addition of ASA in vitro all samples showed antiplatelet efficacy. Regression analysis showed a possible correlation between lower efficacy of ASA treatment and higher daily doses of dipyrone (p = 0.005 for impedance aggregometry, p = 0.04 for light transmission aggregometry), higher platelet count (p = 0.005 for impedance aggregometry), and shorter time from surgery (p = 0.03 for impedance aggregometry). Conclusion: HTPR occurs in 67% of ASA-treated patients after lower limb vascular surgery. The occurrence of HTPR correlates with the daily dose of dipyrone. Therefore, dipyrone should not be used as a postoperative analgesic in ASA-treated patients after peripheral artery revascularisation due to its influence on the effectiveness of ASA.

Abstract A 70-year-old female with a history of hypertension and left A2 segment aneurysm was scheduled for pipeline embolization device (PED) placement. Preinterventional antiplatelet prophylaxis included aspirin and ticagrelor. Unexpectedly, after 13 days of treatment, VerifyNow showed a P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) value of 216, approximately &gt;5 times the mean PRU of other patients on aspirin and ticagrelor. We confirmed platelet reactivity and ticagrelor resistance with light transmission aggregometry. Antiplatelet therapy was switched to prasugrel, and aspirin was continued. Eight days later, the P2Y12 reaction value (PRU) was 164. PED was placed without complications. Unlike clopidogrel, ticagrelor is a direct P2Y12 inhibitor that does not require metabolism to an active metabolite. Ticagrelor resistance is very rarely reported. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no case of ticagrelor resistance reported in the context of pre-PED placement prophylaxis.
