Use of Clopidogrel and Poor Visual Outcome.
I read with interest a recent article by Chae et al., which was published in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science. In their study, the use of clopidogrel was associated with poor visual outcome at 2 years. The authors postulated that this association may be related to the association between neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cardiovascular disease. I agree with the ...
متن کاملAuthor response: predictors of visual acuity in macular edema.
We thank Jay Chhablani and William Freeman for their interest and comments regarding our study. The study validated axonal integrity as a measure of visual potential. In macular edema, abnormal fluid accumulation between the two plexiform layers produces mechanical stress on the bipolar axons. Considering that bipolar axons represent the sole communication between photoreceptors and ganglion ce...
متن کاملThe use of amlodipine, but not of P-glycoprotein inhibiting calcium channel blockers is associated with clopidogrel poor-response.
Clopidogrel is a prodrug that has to be converted in vivo to its active metabolite by cytochrome (CYP)P450 iso-enzymes. As calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are inhibitors of CYP3A4, concomitant use of these drugs might play a role in the wide inter-individual variability in the response to clopidogrel. However, some CCBs also have strong inhibitory effects on the drug transporter P-glycoprotein ...
متن کاملClopidogrel Resistance and its Impact on Clinical Outcome of Iranian Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
The aim of current study was evaluating the frequency of clopidogrel resistance and its impact on clinical outcome of patients in Iranian patients. Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in Imam Hussein Medical center, Tehran, Iran, who received standard dosage of clopidogrel (Plavix®, Sanofi, France, 600 mg loading dose and 75 mg/day afterward) were recruited. Platelet aggregat...
