Testing for Clopidogrel Non-Responsiveness in the PCI Patient

Matthew J. Price , MD;

What does “platelet resistance” mean? A better term to use would be clopidogrel non-responsiveness, or, even more specifically, high platelet reactivity while on clopidogrel (Plavix) therapy. Clopidogrel exerts its anti-platelet effect by...
