Why the study?
The comparability of different platelet function tests in quantifying platelet inhibition achieved by clopidogrel was not well established.
Are different platelet function tests comparable in assessing platelet inhibition by clopidogrel in patients with stable coronary artery disease?

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Platelet function assays evaluating clopidogrel efficacy are highly test-specific, not interchangeable, and currently cannot be recommended for routine clinical practice.
Lordkipanidzé et al. (2008) studied this question.
