Assessment of the relationship between platelet reactivity, vascular risk factors and gender in cerebral ischaemia patients.

CONCLUSIONS: There are no differences between platelet reactivity and the incidence of aspirin resistance in patients with stroke and TIA. Male gender and smoking are associated with greater reactivity of platelets and more frequent occurrence of acetylsalicylic acid resistance in patients with cerebral ischaemia. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Dual antiplatelet therapy or clopidogrel treatment should be considered in smoking males with cerebral ischaemia due to the high risk of aspirin inefficiency.
