Clopidogrel therapy reduces the occurrence of major vascular events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, but treatment efficacy is variable. The present study aims to determine the mechanisms that underlie associations between certain miRNA polymorphisms and clinical outcomes of clopidogrel therapy. Our study focused on 9 miRNA single nucleotide polymorphisms in addition to and . We found that the rs2043556 AG genotype significantly decreased the risk of acute myocardial infarction (odds ratio, OR = 0.13, 95%CI 0.02-0.96, = .045) and that the rs2043556 GG genotype significantly decreased the risk of unstable angina (OR = 0.19, 95%CI 0.05-0.65, = .008) in ACS patients receiving clopidogrel therapy for more than one year. Dual-luciferase analysis indicated that miR-605 significantly decreased the mRNA expression of CYP2B6 and P2RY12 ( < .01). In cells treated with miR-605-A, the protein and mRNA expression of CYP2B6 and P2RY12 were significantly lower than that of cells treated with miR-605-G ( < .05). The results demonstrate that miR-605 targets the mRNA of the CYP2B6 and P2RY12 genes, and that A/G polymorphisms in miR-605 modulate the mRNA and protein expression of CYP2B6 and P2RY12 differently, which may impact the effect of clopidogrel in ACS patients.

Pharmacotherapeutic options for coronary thrombosis treatment: where are we today?

Introduction: Advances in pharmacotherapy for coronary thrombosis treatment and prevention have transformed the clinical outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease but increased the complexity of therapeutic decision-making. Improvements in percutaneous coronary intervention techniques and stent design have reduced the incidence of thrombotic complications, which consequently has increased the challenge of adequately powering clinical trials of novel antithrombotic strategies for efficacy outcomes. Knowledge of the pathophysiology of coronary thrombosis and the characteristics of antithrombotic drugs can help with therapeutic decisions.

Introduction: We explored the efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for individuals diagnosed with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), incorporating the latest insights from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). The emerging evidence surrounding DAPT in stroke and TIA plays a pivotal role in guiding clinical decisions.
Methods: Our study included five RCTs (INSPIRES, THALES, POINT, CHANCE, FASTER) on DAPT (aspirin + P2Y12 inhibitor) initiated within 72 hours of acute stroke or TIA, which evaluated DAPT efficacy and safety over 21-90 days, focusing on new strokes and major bleeding.
Ischemic stroke is a significant global health problem associated with mortality and disability. Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is a leading cause of stroke and contributes to recurrent stroke, especially in Asian population. Because of the different pathophysiology and mechanisms of ICAS resulting in ischemic stroke compared to extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ECAS), treatment strategies for secondary prevention would be different.

Background: Advances in secondary stroke prevention, including direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), dual antiplatelet therapies (DAPT), and cardiovascular risk management, have changed costs over the past decade. This study aimed to evaluate annual treatment costs and trends in drug-based secondary prophylaxis after ischemic strokes.
Methods: Annual treatment costs were evaluated using the net costs per defined daily dosage (DDD) of discharge medications for ischemic stroke patients treated in 2020 at the University Hospital Frankfurt, Germany.

Coronary atherosclerosis (or coronary heart disease [CHD]) is a common cardiovascular disease that seriously damages human health. Percutaneous coronary stent implantation represents the primary treatment option for severe CHD in clinical practice; meanwhile, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is widely used to reduce the risk of postoperative thrombosis. Although the mechanisms of action of the two most commonly used antiplatelet drugs, aspirin and clopidogrel, remain unclear, clinical studies have shown that some patients are susceptible to stent thrombosis-antiplatelet resistance (high on-treatment platelet reactivity [HTPR])-despite using these drugs.
