Not-high before-treatment platelet reactivity in patients with STEMI: prevalence, clinical characteristics, response to therapy and outcomes

In conclusion, a significant proportion of patients presenting with STEMI has a baseline NHPR that is associated with better in-hospital outcomes as compared with patients with HPR. Further studies are needed to better elucidate the potential therapeutic implications of NHPR in terms of secondary prevention.PMID:33856272 | DOI:10.1080/09537104.2021.1915973
