A novel score of platelet reactivity expression appears promising for detecting hyperreactivity in patients at increased risk for cardiovascular events, potentially allowing clinicians to better ...

Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form blood clots that stop bleeding in injured vessels. Cardiologists have long known that platelets can become "hyperreactive" to cause ...

A new study created a score to identify patients with platelet hyperreactivity and risk of related, future cardiovascular disease. Platelets are circulating cell fragments known to clump up and form ...

Current platelet function assays rely on light transmission aggregometry or proprietary cartridge-based systems, which require specialized expertise, dedicated instruments, and expensive consumables ...
