Aspirin resistance and blood biomarkers in predicting ischemic stroke recurrence: An exploratory study

CONCLUSIONS: Majority of patients with recurrent stroke were elderly (>60 years), hypertensive, and non-compliant with aspirin. Aspirin resistance was an important factor in patients with antiplatelet compliance. Inflammatory biomarkers hsCRP, PLA2, and TNF-α were found to be significantly elevated in patients compared to controls.PMID:35372727 | PMC:PMC8973447 | DOI:10.4103/bc.bc_75_21
