Bedside tests may enable timely antiplatelet adjustments in coronary disease; leaves open whether faster results improve outcomes.
What are the performance characteristics and clinical utility of rapid bedside platelet function tests in patients with coronary disease on antiplatelet therapy?
Rapid bedside platelet function tests may offer a practical alternative to traditional cumbersome methods for monitoring antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary disease.
Thompson et al. (2002) conducted a review in Coronary disease. Platelet function tests was evaluated. New bedside platelet function tests offer rapid turnaround times compared to traditional turbidimetric aggregometry for monitoring antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary disease.
