Does not support adhesiveness testing to identify prior MI; leaves open its association with thrombotic risk in insulin-treated diabetes.
Is adenosine-diphosphate-induced platelet adhesiveness increased in patients with previous myocardial infarction or insulin-treated diabetes compared to healthy controls?
Adenosine-diphosphate-induced platelet adhesiveness is not significantly increased in patients with previous myocardial infarction compared to matched controls, but is elevated in insulin-treated diabetics.
