High post-treatment platelet reactivity is associated with a high incidence of myonecrosis after stenting for non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes

High post-treatment platelet reactivity (HPPR = adenosine diphosphate [ADP] 10 M-induced platelet aggregation > 70%) identifies low responders to dual antiplatelet therapy with increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events after stenting for non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS)...
