Antiplatelet Therapy and Cardiovascular Diseases

Antiplatelet Therapy and Cardiovascular Diseases is a research topic within Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine. Science Explorer counts 32k research works in it since 1950. 17.1% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the use of antiplatelet therapy, including aspirin, clopidogrel, and ticagrelor, in the prevention of cardiovascular events, especially in the context of percutaneous coronary intervention. It also explores the impact of genetic polymorphisms, platelet reactivity, and bleeding risk on the efficacy and safety of antiplatelet drugs.
