The number of diabetes mellitus (DM) is steadily increasing and such a rapid increase will lead to an increase in cardiovascular events, mainly due to coronary heart disease (CHD), in which coronary atherosclerosis and its progression is one of the causes of mortality. The course of atherosclerosis is closely related to the state of the hemostasis system. The basis for the development of atherosclerosis is arterial thrombosis, with the activation of platelets playing a leading role in the disruption of hemostasis in coronary heart disease, increasing the risk of thrombotic complications. At present, data on the relationship of different hemostasis units in coronary heart disease in combination with diabetes are mixed, complicating the prognosis of adverse effects taking into account the status of platelet hemostasis. Given the relevance of the topic, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the spontaneous and induced platelet aggregation in patients with various forms of acute coronary heart disease (ACHD) and to identify features of platelet aggregation activity in the combination of ACHD and DM.Adequate reduction of platelet functional activity in patients with coronary heart disease receiving antiplatelet treatment is the basis for effective prevention of thrombus formation in the coronary vessels and the development of adverse cardiovascular events. However, according to the data obtained, the highest activation of platelet hemostasis was observed in the group of patients with ACHD in combination with DM, which showed a significant (relative to the control group) increase in the level of spontaneous platelet aggregation by 4.6 times. At the same time, the percentage of patients who had increased the above indicators was significantly lower in the group of patients with ACHD without disorders of carbohydrate metabolism. In patients with ACHD in combination with DM, activation of the spontaneous aggregation rate was also observed, which accelerated the formation of aggregates by 30% compared with the isolated ACHD group (p <0.05). In the study of induced platelet aggregation, it was taken into account that patients in both groups received dual antiplatelet therapy, which had a significant effect on their activity. However, the expected inhibition of aggregation potential was revealed only by the action of arachidonic acid (AA). Thus, the degree of platelet aggregation in response to AA in group I was 1.9 times significantly lower than the control values ​​of 18.8% [12,1; 26,4], in group II - 1,5 times and made 24,38% [21,5; 32.9] (p <0.001 for both cases). According to ADP-induced platelet aggregation, the effect of antiplatelet drugs was less effective. Thus, a moderate decrease in the degree of ADP-aggregation was observed only in the group of isolated ACHD, whose indicators were 1.42 times lower than in the control group (p <0.01). Thus, dual antiplatelet therapy was accompanied by an effective reduction in platelet function only in the group of patients with isolated ACHD.

Increased platelet adhesion and aggregation has been reported in patients suffering from rheumatic valvular heart disease and from atherosclerotic heart disease. We therefore measured spontaneous aggregation “PAT III” (Breddin) and ADP-induced platelet aggregation (Born) in 141 patients who underwent cardiac catheterization. There were 50 patients with coronary heart disease, 41 with valvular heart disease, 18 with cardiomyopathy; 32 with normal findings at catheterization served as control group.In comparison to controls, patients with coronary heart disease had significantly increased aggregation. Subdivision into 1, 2, or 3 vessel disease revealed no significant differences. Patients with valvular heart disease also had significantly increased aggregation. This appears to be particularly the case after valvular grafting. Cardiomyopathies were not associated with increased platelet aggregation.

Abstract Abstract 3362 The five channel computerized Whole Blood Aggregation instrument (Multiple Platelet Function Analyzer or Multiplate®), assesses platelet aggregation based on a modified whole blood impedance aggregation method. It permits platelet aggregation to be measured after adding commonly used agonists as arachidonic acid (ASPItest), ADP (ADPtest), collagen (COLtest), ristocetin (RISTOtest) and TRAP (TRAPtest), by detecting changes in electrical resistance in whole blood. Instrument handling is easy. Results are available within 9 minutes. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of aspirin (irreversible inhibitor of COX-1) and/or clopidogrel (irreversible inhibitor of the platelet P2Y12 receptor) on whole blood platelet aggregations induced by the 5 agonists using the Multiplate® in patients treated by aspirin and/or clopidogrel. Patients and controls. Two hundred and twenty two consecutive patients were recruited: 83 treated daily by 75 or 100 mg aspirin (group A); 42 treated daily by 75 mg clopidogrel (group C); 70 treated daily by 75 or 100 mg aspirin plus 75mg clopidogrel (group AC) and 27 who were daily on 100 mg aspirin before coronary intervention were tested 12 h after dual loading dose of aspirin between 75 et 500 mg and 75 to 900 mg clopidogrel according to cardiologists' recommendations: group loading aspirin-clopidogrel (LAC). Among group AC, 23 consecutive patients requiring intracranial stent placement of supra-aortic vessel were tested first at preoperative, without antiplatelet therapy, then 1 month after initiation of daily continuous dual antiplatelet therapy by 100 mg aspirin + 75mg clopidogrel. Ninety six volunteers without pathology or drugs influencing platelet functions constitute the normal control group (N). Blood samples. All patient and controls gave informed consent prior to blood sampling. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture or obtained from the arterial sheath directly into vacutainer Becton Dickinson tube containing 0.129M sodium citrate. Results. Patients under medication showing lower aggregation values than the arbitrary cutoff (fifth percentile of the aggregation in the normal control group was selected for each agonist) were classified as abnormal and having biological sensitivity to the agonist tested. Aggregation values above the cutoff with ASPItest or ADPtest for patients on antiplatelet agents were considered as a persistent platelet aggregation and as a biological resistance. According to the literature, resistance to aspirin was found in 8.6% of patients under aspirin alone or in combination and in 25.1% of patients under clopidogrel alone or in combination. Our main result shows an inhibition in platelet aggregation using ristocetin as agonist for 73.9% of patients taking aspirin alone, for 27.8% on clopidogrel and in 94% of patients receiving combination of the 2 drugs. This inhibition appears after aspirin + clopidogrel intake as we could observe it among patients candidates for intracranial stent placement tested before and after one month of treatment by dual antiplatelet therapy. This effect is not related to von Willebrand Factor (vWF) deficiency since the measurement of ristocetin cofactor activity, and vWF antigen carried out among 14 patients exhibiting an inhibition in whole blood platelet aggregation using RISTOtest were normal and unchanged before and after antiplatelet treatment. VWF is essential platelet-to-platelet interactions which is promoted by the binding of VWF with platelet-receptor glycoprotein IbIX (GPIbIX). Our results suggest: 1) aspirin inhibits the interaction of vWF to GP IbIX. This inhibition appears increased by the association of clopidogrel to aspirin. 2) a new mechanism of inhibition of the platelet function GPIbIX-vWF dependant conjointly to inhibition of cyclooxygenase by aspirin and P2Y12 receptor by clopidogrel.Table I:Biological sensibility according to the five tests (%) in the 4 groups testedGroup (n)ASPItestADPtestCOLtestRISTOtestTRAPtestA (83)84.312.038.373.98.4C (42)38.176.219.227.816.7AC (70)90.074.348.288.222.9LAC (27)100.074.163.0100.029.6 Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Introduction: Oral surgery (OS) in patients on antecedent dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) may be associated with extra bleeding risks. Monitoring platelet activity in such patients may be beneficial for safety when performing OS. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess whether platelet function during DAPT impacted the risk of bleeding following OS in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Patients and Methods: Patients who required OS on top of DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel (n = 55) for invasively treated ACS were included. The control group (n = 33) consisted of patients who underwent OS with no antiplatelet agent. Platelet aggregation before OS was assessed with a Multiplate® analyzer. Bleeding during OS and at days 1, 3, 7 and 10 after surgery was serially evaluated. Results: All 88 patients completed the study. An incomplete response to aspirin or clopidogrel was observed in 43.6% of the patients. In 11% of the cases, an excessive response to clopidogrel was demonstrated. No excessive bleeding upon OS was exhibited in either group during the entire follow-up. Platelet aggregation values and the use of DAPT did not impact the performance of OS. Conclusion: Therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin after ACS does not seem to increase the risk of real-life bleeding following OS, regardless of the platelet activity response to DAPT.

Aim. To assess the association of CYP2C19 G681A, P2RY12 H1/H2, and ITGB3 T1565C polymorphisms with the extent of platelet aggregation in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) during antiplatelet therapy. Subjects and methods. 166 male patients with CHD, living in the Western Siberian Region, were examined. All the patients underwent a test for platelet aggregation induced by ADP (2.5 and 5.0 µm) and epinephrine (0.2 µm). Genotyping was performed using an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction technique. Results. The polymorphic variants of the P2RY12 and ITGB3 genes were ascertained to have no impact on the extent of platelet aggregation in patients receiving clopidogrel and acetylsalicylic acid. An association was found between CYP2C19 681A allele carriage and the increased extent of platelet aggregation induced by ADP. Conclusion. The carriage of the cytochrome P450 CYP2C19 681A allele rather than platelet receptor gene polymorphisms determines a risk for clopidogrel resistance in patients with CHD.

Objective. To explore the effect of mobile Internet on attitude and self-efficacy of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) diagnosed by 12-lead Holter ECG. Methods. The clinical data of 62 patients with CHD who underwent routine ECG examination (control group I) and 12-lead dynamic electrocardiogram (control group II) in our hospital (June 2017–December 2020) were retrospectively analyzed, and the clinical data of another 62 patients with CHD who received 12-lead Holter ECG examination combined with mobile Internet in our hospital at the same time (study group) were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical observation indexes of the three groups were compared. Results. No obvious difference in general data among groups ( P > 0.05 ). Compared with the control group I, the positive detection rate (PDR) of the study group and the control group II was obviously higher ( P < 0.05 ), and the PDR of the study group was obviously higher than that of the control group II, without remarkable difference between both groups ( P > 0.05 ). Compared with the control group, the scores of CAS-R of the study group were obviously higher ( P < 0.05 ), and self-efficacy of daily life, health behaviors, medication compliance, and compliance behavior of the study group was obviously better ( P < 0.05 ). The diagnostic efficacy was derived by ROC curve analysis, 12-lead Holter ECG combined with mobile Internet + routine ECG > 12-lead Holter ECG combined with mobile Internet > 12-lead Holter ECG > routine ECG. Conclusion. Compared with the routine ECG, the sensitivity of 12-lead Holter ECG in the diagnosis of CHD is conspicuously higher. Meanwhile, 12-lead Holter ECG combined with mobile Internet can enhance the diagnostic efficiency and improve patients’ perceived control attitude and self-efficacy.

Detection of a tendency to increased thrombosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) is of important prognostic value in the selection of drugs aimed at achieving a persistent antithrombotic effect. The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of elevated ADP inducer concentrations to improve the accuracy of ADP-induced platelet aggregation in patients with coronary heart disease. Material and method. Material and method. We studied 48 patients with CHD who were on continuous double antiplatelet therapy for 6 months (aspirin 75mg and clopidogrel 75mg per day). The aggregation activity of the platelet suspension was studied using the Born method G. in the modification of Gabbasov Z. A. Platelet activity was evaluated by the degree of aggregation of platelet-rich plasma along the light transmission curve under the influence of the inducer adenosine diphosphate (ADP) at a concentration of 2 mmol/l and by its own patented method against the background of additional ADP application. Results. In patients, platelet aggregation decreased to 5-35% (p<0.005) compared to the standard values, which are 50-60%. The values of platelet aggregation with the additional introduction of the inducer of aggregation ADP in a ratio of 2:1 to 2 µmol/l for 1, 2, 3, and 4-minute registration of platelet aggregation, resulted in increased aggregation from 55% to 75% (p<0.001), indicating high residual platelet reactivity on the background of double antiplatelet therapy. Correlations of the degree of aggregation for elevated ADP concentrations with multivessel arterial lesion and dyslipidemia were also found, r=0.86 and r=0.92, respectively. Conclusion. The use of elevated concentrations of adenosine diphosphate in platelet aggregation in patients with ischemic heart disease increases the accuracy of assessing ADP-induced platelet aggregation against the background of dual antiplatelet therapy and contributes to the detection of high residual platelet reactivity.

Abstract Background Mobile health-based individualized interventions have shown potential effects in managing cardiovascular risk factors. This study aims to assess whether or not mHealth based individualized interventions delivered by an Individualized Cardiovascular Application system for Risk Elimination (iCARE) could reduce the incidence of major cardiovascular events in individuals with coronary heart disease. Methods This study is a large-scale, multi-center, parallel-group, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. This study will be conducted from September 2019 to December 2025. A total of 2820 patients with coronary heart disease will be recruited from two clinical sites and equally randomized into three groups: the intervention group and two control groups. All participants will be informed of six-time points (at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months after discharge) for follow-up visits. Over a course of 36 months, patients who are randomized to the intervention arm will receive individualized interventions delivered by a fully functional iCARE that using various visualization methods such as comics, videos, pictures, text to provide individualized interventions in addition to standard care. Patients randomized to control group 1 will receive interventions delivered by a modified iCARE that only presented in text in addition to routine care. Control group 2 will only receive routine care. The primary outcome is the incidence of major cardiovascular events within 3 years of discharge. Main secondary outcomes include changes in health behaviors, medication adherence, and cardiovascular health score. Discussion If the iCARE trial indeed demonstrates positive effects on patients with coronary heart disease, it will provide empirical evidence for supporting secondary preventive care in this population. Results will inform the design of future research focused on mHealth-based, theory-driven, intelligent, and individualized interventions for cardiovascular risk management.
