Background and Objectives : The aim of this study was to confirm the predictive cut-off values for P2Y12 reaction units (PRU) and aspirin reaction units (ARU) and to evaluate the clinical impact of VerifyNow¢ç assays.
Subjects and Methods : From November 2007 to October 2009, 186 eligible patients were prospectively recruited. Post-treatment platelet reactivity was measured by VerifyNow¢ç assays within 12 to 24 hours after intervention, followed by standard dual maintenance dose therapy for 1 year. All patients had scheduled clinical follow-ups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
Results: The rate of low responders to clopidogrel, aspirin, and both drugs were 41.4%, 10.2%, and 3.8%, respectively. The predictive factors for low responsiveness to clopidogrel (PRU ¡Ã240) were female sex, age, and non-use of cilostazol medication in our univariate analysis and age ¡Ã65 years and non-use cilostazol in the multivariate analysis. The predictors of low responsiveness to aspirin (ARU ¡Ã550) were male sex and age in both univariate and multivariate analyses. There was no significant difference in the clinical event rate with a cut-off value of PRU ¡Ã240 or ARU ¡Ã550 for 30 days and 1-year (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Hyporesponsiveness to antiplatelet agents (namely aspirin and clopidogrel) was identified in about half of the patients. The cut-off point of PRU ¡Ã240 or ARU ¡Ã550 did not confer predictive value for 30-day or 1-year clinical event rates in patients who had undergone coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents.
