Article Synopsis
- The study explored the relationship between high platelet reactivity (HPR) on clopidogrel and the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients undergoing coronary interventions, particularly focusing on those with diabetes mellitus (DM).

- However, the impact of HPR on MACE risk differed based on diabetes type, with non-insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (non-ITDM) showing a stronger association compared to insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (ITDM).
