- Abstract
The risk of recurrence of cardiovascular events among patients using aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) for secondary prevention of such events remains high. Persistent platelet reactivity despite aspirin therapy, a laboratory-defined phenomenon called aspirin resistance (hereinafter, laboratory aspirin resistance), might explain this in part, but its actual contribution to the risk remains unclear. The objective of this study was to systematically review all available evidence on whether laboratory aspirin resistance is related to a higher risk of cardiovascular recurrent events.
