Is clopidogrel better than aspirin following breakthrough strokes while on aspirin? A retrospective cohort study. [PDF]
ObjectiveThere is insufficient evidence on which to base a recommendation for optimal antiplatelet therapy following a stroke while on aspirin. The objective was to compare clopidogrel initiation vs aspirin reinitiation for vascular risk reduction among ...

Aspirin is one of the 'cornerstone' drugs in our current management of cardiovascular disorders. However, despite the prescription of aspirin recurrent vascular events still occur in 10–20% of patients.

Potentiation of thrombus instability: a contributory mechanism to the effectiveness of antithrombotic medications [PDF]
© The Author(s) 2018The stability of an arterial thrombus, determined by its structure and ability to resist endogenous fibrinolysis, is a major determinant of the extent of infarction that results from coronary or cerebrovascular thrombosis.

The association of four common polymorphisms from four candidate genes (COX-1, COX-2, ITGA2B, ITGA2) with aspirin insensitivity: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Evidence is mounting suggesting that a strong genetic component underlies aspirin insensitivity. To generate more information, we aimed to evaluate the association of four common polymorphisms (rs3842787, rs20417, rs201184269, rs1126643) from ...

Aspirin resistance: causes, clinical significance, correction
Aspirin is the most frequently prescribed antiplatelet agent today. It exerts its antiplatelet effect by irreversible inactivation of the platelet cyclooxygenase-1, resulting in an irreversible inhibition of thromboxane-A2 formation. The clinical benefit

Aspirin resistance in patients with ischemic stroke
INTRODUCTION[|]Aspirin is the basic agent of antithrombotic treatment in ischemic cerebrovascular disease (CVD) patients. However several patients don't respond to treatment and therefore aspirin resistance term has been used lately.

Prostaglandin (PG) E2 has been linked to increased inflammation and attenuated resistance exercise adaptations in skeletal muscle. Nonaspirin cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors have been shown to reduce these effects.

Assessing a 600-mg Loading Dose of Clopidogrel 24 Hours Prior to Pipeline Embolization Device Treatment [PDF]
Background: Clopidogrel/aspirin antiplatelet therapy routinely is administered 7-10 days before pipeline aneurysm treatment. Our study assessed the safety and efficacy of a 600-mg loading dose of clopidogrel 24 hours before Pipeline Embolization Device ...

Aspirin resistance: position paper of the Working Group on Aspirin Resistance [PDF]
Aspirin irreversibly acetylates serine 529 of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, resulting in inhibition of thromboxane A2 generation by platelets and prostacyclin by endothelial cells [1]. Because platelets lack the synthetic machinery to generate significant amounts of new COX, aspirin-induced COX-1 inhibition lasts for the lifetime of the platelet. In contrast,
