Why the study?
Elevated MPV and IPF are predictive of vascular risk and may associate with residual platelet reactivity, prompting exploration of platelet characteristics and clopidogrel responder status in stroke patients.
Does a modified platelet function test using gravity sedimentation improve the detection of high residual platelet reactivity in stroke patients on clopidogrel?
Does a modified platelet function test using gravity sedimentation improve the detection of high residual platelet reactivity in stroke patients on clopidogrel?
A modified platelet function test using gravity sedimentation may help better stratify stroke patients with high residual platelet reactivity on clopidogrel.
