Effect of long‐term adherence to clopidogrel on the VASP‐PRI after elective coronary stent implantation: a randomized controlled study

摘要

AimsThe biological response to clopidogrel is highly variable and a poor responsiveness is associated with major adverse cardiac events. Adherence to therapy is a major cause of poor responsiveness but its impact on long‐term platelet inhibition is unknown. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different programmes monitoring adherence to clopidogrel on platelet reactivity.
