Platelets play a critical role in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disorders and strokes. The inhibition of platelet function is beneficial for the treatment and prevention of these diseases. The phytochemical investigation of stilbenoids from Gnetum macrostachyum Hook. f. led to the isolation of trans-resveratrol (1), isorhapotigenin (2), gnetol (3), bisisorhapontigenin B (4), gnetin C (5), parvifolol A (6), latifolol (7) and gnetuhainin C (8). The isolated stilbenoids were evaluated for in vitro antiplatelet activities via agonist-induced platelet aggregation and static platelet-collagen adhesion assays using washed human platelets. Compounds 1, 2 and 3 were active in the inhibition of arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation. Compound 2 and its dimer, compound 4, were the most active stilbenoids in thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. Moreover, compounds 4, 5 and 6, tended to be more potent than monomeric and trimeric stilbenoids in a human platelet-collagen adhesion assay under static conditions. This is the first report of the antiplatelet activity of stilbenoids isolated from G. macrostachyum.

Ticagrelor has become the standard drug for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) with flow diverters (FDs), but the dosage has not been standardized. The effect of platelet function on clinical and imaging prognosis remains unclear. This study aimed to show the effects of different doses of ticagrelor and platelet aggregation function on the clinical and imaging prognosis after FDs treatment of aneurysms.

Background: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has been used in reconstructive microsurgery since the inception of the field. However, when compared to placebo groups, its efficacy is not confirmed. In our study, we hypothesize that the utility of ASA postoperatively in microvascular surgery is not associated with improved outcomes.

Coronary artery disease remains a significant global health issue and is a leading cause of mortality. Dual antiplatelet therapy, including clopidogrel, is essential for preventing stent thrombosis after coronary artery stenting. This study assessed the comparative efficacy and safety of generic versus brand-name clopidogrel in a large Taiwanese cohort.

Platelet factor 4 (PF4), a specific protein primarily found in megakaryocytes and platelet α-granules, plays an essential role in the coagulation process. It carries a high positive charge and thus has a unique ability to readily form complexes with negatively charged heparin. This interaction between PF4 and heparin plays a crucial role in platelet aggregation and thrombosis, resulting in heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).

Cardiologists have analyzed daily patterns in the incidence of sudden cardiac death to identify environmental, behavioral, and physiological factors that trigger fatal arrhythmias. Recent studies have indicated an overall increase in sudden cardiac arrest during daytime hours when the frequency of arrhythmogenic triggers is highest. The risk of fatal arrhythmias arises from the interaction between these triggers-such as elevated sympathetic signaling, catecholamine levels, heart rate, afterload, and platelet aggregation-and the heart's susceptibility (myocardial substrate) to them.
