Functional characterization of a nanobody-based glycoprotein VI-specific platelet agonist
Background: Glycoprotein (GP)VI is a platelet-specific collagen receptor required for platelet activation during hemostasis. Platelet reactivity toward collagen is routinely assessed during diagnostic workup of platelet disorders.

Platelet Function Testing in Cardiovascular Diseases [PDF]
Case presentation 1: Mr F. is a 60-year-old man with unstable angina who takes aspirin, 81 mg/day. A platelet function test demonstrates that his platelets are “resistant” to aspirin. Should his treatment be changed? Case presentation 2: Mr K. is a 60-year-old man with unstable angina who takes aspirin, 81 mg/day, and clopidogrel, 75 mg/day.

Aggregometry in the settings of thrombocytopenia, thrombocytosis and antiplatelet therapy
A variety of laboratory tests have been developed, which can diagnose a number of both congenital and acquired disorders of platelet function. Many tests of platelet function measure the ability of platelets to adhere to each other, forming platelet ...

Platelet phenotypes and practical aspects of platelet function testing in cardiology
The assessment of platelet dysfunction is usually used by hematologists to diagnose inherited (such as Bernard-Soulier syndrome, platelet-type-von Willebrand disease, Glanzmann thrombasthenia, etc.), and acquired (symptomatic) platelet disorders (in ...

Platelet function in the postprandial period
Background Postprandial hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia have been related to cardiovascular events. Among different underlying mechanisms platelet activation seems to be responsible too.

Physical activity intervention for elderly patients with reduced physical performance after acute coronary syndrome (HULK study): Rationale and design of a randomized clinical trial [PDF]
Background: Reduced physical performance and impaired mobility are common in elderly patients after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and they represent independent risk factors for disability, morbidity, hospital readmission and mortality.
