Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries have a diversity of populations with similar
life style, dietary habits, and vascular risk factors that may influence stroke risk, prevalence …

Background: Antiplatelet medications such as aspirin and clopidogrel are used following
thrombotic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) to prevent a recurrent stroke. However …

Objectives: To investigate whether aspirin resistance is associated with initial stroke severity
and infarct volume, using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in patients with acute ischemic …

Strokes are the leading cause of death in most regions of the world. Epoxidase inhibitors
include the drug aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Aspirin is widely used as first-line treatment for …

To explore the correlation of aspirin resistance (AR) with clinical stroke severity and infarct
volume using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in 224 Chinese ischemic stroke patients …

Background: Excessive platelet activation and aggregation plays an important role in the
pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Correlation between platelet reactivity and ischemic …

Background: Stroke occurrence despite chronic antiplatelet drug (APD) treatment is
frequent. We aimed at evaluating the relevance of platelet aggregation testing in the …

Aim. Excessive activation and platelet aggregation play important roles in the
aetiopathogenesis of cerebral ischaemia. The aim of this study was to assess the …

Results Eighty patients were included to the study, fifty one patients to the acute stroke/TIA
group (ASG) and 29 patients to the control group (CG). There was no statistically significant …

Background: High on-treatment platelet reactivity or its equivalent—resistance to the
antiplatelet agent—significantly reduces the efficacy of the therapy, contributing to a …
