Acute myocardial infarction occurring while on chronic clopidogrel therapy ('clopidogrel failure') is associated with high incidence of clopidogrel poor responsiveness and stent thrombosis.

Acute myocardial infarction occurring while on chronic clopidogrel therapy ('clopidogrel failure') is associated with high incidence of clopidogrel poor responsiveness and stent thrombosis.

The clinical significance of the laboratory-based phenomenon of clopidogrel hypo-responsiveness and platelet reactivity associated with acute myocardial infarction, despite chronic clopidogrel therapy, is largely unknown. We aimed to determine platelet reactivity and clinical and angiographic featur...
