Objective: To investigate the correlations of three P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R) gene polymorphisms (rs7428575 T>G, rs2046934 C>T, and rs3732759 A>G) with susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CHD) and clinical efficacy of clopidogrel treatment for CHD.
Methods: From May 2014 to May 2015, 178 CHD patients (the case group) and 182 healthy controls (the control group) were selected from our hospital. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) turbidimetry was used to measure the rate of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation before and after clopidogrel treatment. Clopidogrel-sensitive group was defined as a 10% or greater decrease in the rate of platelet aggregation after 10 days of clopidogrel treatment, while clopidogrel-resistant group was defined as a <10% decrease. Genotyping was performed by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). A haplotype analysis of P2Y12R gene polymorphisms was performed using SHEsis software.
Results: There were significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies of rs2046934 C>T and rs3732759 A>G between the case and control groups (all P<.05). Haplotypes GTA and TTA were negatively associated with CHD risk (both P<.05), but haplotype TCA was positively associated with CHD risk (P=.005). CHD patients in the clopidogrel-sensitive group had higher frequencies of TT genotype of rs2046934 C>T and lower frequencies of GG genotype of rs3732759 A>G than those in the clopidogrel-resistant group (both P<.05).
Conclusions: P2Y12R gene rs2046934 C>T and rs3732759 A>G polymorphisms might be associated with the risk of CHD and the efficacy of clopidogrel treatment for CHD.

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is an abnormal dilatation of coronary artery segments, often linked with atherosclerosis. This report discusses two cases of CAE presenting as acute coronary syndrome. A 36-year-old man had proximal blockage in the left circumflex artery (LCx) and ectasia in the obtuse marginal artery and left anterior descending artery (LAD), while a 53-year-old male smoker had an ectatic LAD with a substantial thrombus.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with small-diameter stents (SDS), that are equal to or less than 2.5 mm in diameter, face increased risks of restenosis and complications. This study aimed to evaluate the 1-year follow-up to assess the rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and bleeding risk between ticagrelor and clopidogrel in T2DM patients after SDS implantation.

Background: In patients with sepsis, platelets are activated and adhere to neutrophils, forming platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLAs) that lead to the development of MODS. ARDS is one of the main manifestations of septic MODS. We designed this study to explore the effects of different anti-plate therapy drugs on platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregate (PLA) formation in the early stage of septic ARDS.

Background: Preinjury antithrombotic (AT) use is associated with worse outcomes for geriatric (65 years or older) patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous studies have found that use of AT outside established guidelines is widespread in TBI patients.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective cross-sectional study, we examined inappropriate AT use among geriatric patients presenting with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage.

Background: Preliminary data suggests that the burden of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is high in Tanzania. After efforts to improve ACS care, we sought to describe ACS diagnosis rates, care processes, and outcomes in a Tanzanian Emergency Department (ED).
Methods: Adults presenting to a northern Tanzanian ED with acute chest pain or shortness of breath were enrolled from November 2020 to January 2023.
