Flavanols and Platelet Reactivity
Platelet activity and platelet-endothelial cell interactions are important in the acute development of thrombosis, as well as in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. An increasing number of foods have been reported to have platelet-inhibitory actions, and research with a number of flavanol-rich foods, including, grape juice, cocoa and chocolate, suggests that these foods may provide some...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation and platelet reactivity.
BACKGROUND The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) upon platelet reactivity has not been investigated. METHODS Subjects were 33 individuals with AF who consented to elective electrical cardioversion (ECV) immediately before ECV determination of surface-bound fibrinogen after stimulation i.e. platelet reactivity was carried out. A flow cytometer was employed. ADP (1.7 and 8.5 μmol/L) and a thro...
متن کاملMicroRNA Biomarkers and Platelet Reactivity
Platelets play a key role in hemostasis, initiating and propagating thrombosis. Dysregulation and inappropriate activation of platelets underpin a wide range of important diseases, including stroke and myocardial infarction, whereas impairment of platelet function results in bleeding disorders. Platelets are anucleate and were previously considered to be simple cytoplasmic fragments of megakary...
متن کاملPlatelet reactivity in twin pregnancies.
BACKGROUND Gestational thrombocytopenia is more likely to occur in twin than singleton pregnancies. However, it is unclear whether platelets are more reactive in twin than singleton pregnancies. METHODS Changes in spontaneous platelet aggregation and concomitant fall in platelet count were examined over 90min after blood sampling in 171 and 52 citrated whole blood (CWB) samples from 59 and 17...
متن کاملAdrenoreceptors, platelet reactivity and clopidogrel resistance.
Thromb Haemost 2008; 100: 729–730 Platelet activation plays a central role in haemostasis and thrombosis. Antiplatelet therapy is considered to be the ‘cornerstone’in the prevention and treatment of thrombotic diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). While dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel is currently the standard therap...
