Aspirin and clopidogrel resistance using the cone and plate(let) analyser in Indian patients with coronary artery disease.

Background: Resistance to antiplatelet drugs is a well-known entity. However, data for aspirin and clopidogrel resistance, and its clinical significance, in Indian patients are meagre.

Aims And Objectives: We sought to determine the prevalence of resistance to aspirin and clopidogrel in Indian patients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD), using the cone and plate(let) analyser (CPA) technology.
