Example sentences for: antiplatelet
How can you use “antiplatelet” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Patients excluded from participation included those at high risk for bleeding, those with severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count ≤ 30,000/mm 3), those taking a variety of antiplatelet agents, and those receiving systemic heparin anticoagulation.
In recent trials of antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapies for such patients, prevention of MI was the primary treatment effect assessed [ 1, 2, 3, 4].
The prevention of MI has in fact been the primary treatment effect assessed in recent trials of antiplatelet and antithrombin therapies [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11].
However, despite association of the factor V G1691A (factor V Leiden) and prothrombin (factor II) G20210A mutations with venous thromboembolism and myocardial infarction [ 10 11 ] , neither mutation is strongly associated with risk of stroke [ 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ] . Although a study of British adults found elevated levels of serum homocysteine to be associated with an increased risk of stroke [ 19 ] , a case-control study of a common polymorphism (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR] T677C) that results in increased serum homocysteine concentrations found no difference between patients with stroke and controls in either genotype or allele frequency [ 20 ] . Because antiplatelet agents with different mechanisms of action can bring about significant reductions in stroke risk, several platelet receptor genes have been tested as candidate stroke susceptibility genes [ 21 22 ] . To date, however, no compelling evidence for an association between any platelet receptor gene polymorphism and risk of stroke has been found.
