Impact of Body Mass Index on Platelet Aggregation After Administration of a High Loading Dose of 600 mg of Clopidogrel Before Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
This study assessed the effect of body mass index (BMI) on platelet aggregation after administration of a high loading dose of clopidogrel 600 mg. Blood samples of 402 patients before percutaneous coronary intervention were collected ≥2 hours after administration of clopidogrel 600 mg. Platelet aggr...

Zusammenfassung: | This study assessed the effect of body mass index (BMI) on platelet aggregation after administration of a high loading dose of clopidogrel 600 mg. Blood samples of 402 patients before percutaneous coronary intervention were collected ≥2 hours after administration of clopidogrel 600 mg. Platelet aggregation was measured in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP; 5 and 20 μM). Patients were categorized as normal weight (BMI |
