Clopidogrel use and smoking cessation result in lower coated-platelet levels after stroke.
Authors: Kirkpatrick AC, Vincent AS, Dale GL, Prodan CI Abstract Coated-platelets are a subset of highly procoagulant platelets elevated in patients with non-lacunar ischemic stroke and associated with stroke recurrence. Cross-sectional studies in controls have shown that smoking is associated with higher coated-platelet levels while chronic use of serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), statins or aspirin is associated with lower coated-platelet levels.
