Effect of gender difference on platelet reactivity

TLDR
Although the magnitude of platelet reactivity was higher in women, the absolute difference between genders was small and both the cut-off value to identify patients at risk and the incidence of the composite endpoint were similar between genders.
Abstract
Background Previous studies have suggested that women do not accrue equal therapeutic benefit from antiplatelet medication as compared with men. The physiological mechanism and clinical implications behind this gender disparity have yet to be established.

Sex and gender in cardiovascular medicine: presentation and outcomes of acute coronary syndrome

TL;DR: Current evidence for gender and sex differences in vascular biology, clinical presentation, and outcomes of acute coronary syndrome is summarized and potential mechanisms and non-traditional risk conditions modulating the course of disease in women and men are discussed.

Advanced age and high-residual platelet reactivity in patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel or ticagrelor.

TL;DR: In patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy, advanced age is independently associated with a reduced effectiveness of ADP antagonists and a higher rate of HRPR with both clopidogrel and ticagrelor.

The antidepressant 5-HT2A receptor antagonists pizotifen and cyproheptadine inhibit serotonin-enhanced platelet function.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the antidepressant 5-HT2A antagonists, cyproheptadine and pizotifen do exert antiplatelet and thromboprotective effects, but similar to clopidogrel and EMD 281014, their use may interfere with normal hemostasis.

Global and regional burden of disease and risk factors, 2001: systematic analysis of population health data

TL;DR: Despite uncertainties about mortality and burden of disease estimates, the findings suggest that substantial gains in health have been achieved in most populations, countered by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa and setbacks in adult mortality in countries of the former Soviet Union.

Clinical End Points in Coronary Stent Trials A Case for Standardized Definitions

TL;DR: Criteria for assessment of death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and stent thrombosis were developed and provide consistency across studies that can facilitate the evaluation of safety and effectiveness of these devices.

Early and sustained dual oral antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Following PCI, long-term clopidogrel therapy significantly reduced the risk of adverse ischemic events and subgroup analyses suggest that longer intervals between the loading dose and PCI may reduce events.

Aspirin in the primary and secondary prevention of vascular disease: collaborative meta-analysis of individual participant data from randomised trials.

TL;DR: In primary prevention without previous disease, aspirin is of uncertain net value as the reduction in occlusive events needs to be weighed against any increase in major bleeds.
