Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular events despite long-term acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) therapy. We aimed to compare the results obtained from two major platelet function point-of-care tests and thromboxane A2 metabolites in the assessment of the prevalence of high platelet reactivity (HPR) on ASA in T2DM patients.


Methods and results: The study cohort consisted of 262 T2DM patients who had been taking ASA tablets at the dose of 75 mg per day for at least 3 months for primary or secondary prevention of myocardial infarction. Platelet reactivity analyzes were performed using VerifyNow Aspirin and PFA-100 assays. Thromboxane A2 metabolites were also measured in serum and urine to assess cyclooxygenase-1 specific platelet reactivity inhibition. The prevalence of HPR varied according to the assay used: 35,4%, for PFA-100 using epinephrine as the agonist, 16,1%, for VerifyNow Aspirin Assay, and finally, 21,6% by measuring urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 and 9,8% measuring serum throboxane B2 concentrations. HPR were found in over 55% of patients based on at least one test, and in only 2,2% based on all performed tests. Results from these tests showed poor correlation and agreement among themselves.


Conclusion: Platelet function tests are not equally effective in measuring HPR and correlate poorly among themselves.
