Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the link between specific genetic variations (SNPs) and aspirin resistance (AR) in patients using long-term aspirin therapy to understand individual responses to the medication.
- It involved 266 patients with stable coronary heart disease who took low-dose aspirin and had their blood samples analyzed to measure aspirin's effectiveness by checking thromboxane B2 levels and platelet function.
- The findings indicated that two specific SNPs were significantly associated with reduced effects of aspirin on platelet aggregation, suggesting a genetic influence on AR, though further research is needed to confirm these results.
