State-of-the-Art: Hypo-responsiveness to oral antiplatelet therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Current Cardiovascular Risk Reports 2015 January
Diabetes mellitus is a global pandemic, associated with a high burden of cardiovascular disease. There are multiple platelet derangements in patients with diabetes, and antiplatelet drugs remain the first-line agents for secondary prevention as well as for high-risk primary prevention among patients with diabetes. This review provides a summary of oral antiplatelet drug hypo-responsiveness in patients with diabetes, specifically aspirin and Clopidogrel resistance. Topics discussed include antiplatelet testing, definitions used to define hypo-response and resistance, its prevalence, association with clinical outcomes and strategies to mitigate resistance. The role of prasugrel and ticagrelor, as well as investigational agents, is also discussed.
