Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is considered essential in clinical management of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary revascularization or acute coronary syndromes. However, the optimal platelet inhibition is not always obtained, with high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR) increasing stent thrombosis and recurrent ischemic events. Aim of this study was to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on platelet reactivity in patients on DAPT.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is considered essential in clinical management of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary revascularization or acute coronary syndromes. However, the optimal platelet inhibition is not always obtained, with high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR) increasing stent thrombosis and recurrent ischemic events. Aim of this study was to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on platelet reactivity in patients on DAPT.File in questo prodotto:
