Aspirin is the most widely used medication in patients with cardiovascular disease. It has had a greater effect on patients with cardiovascular disease than any other drug. With the importance of aspirin now known for decades, it is recently becoming clearer that some patients do not derive as great a benefit from this "wonder drug" secondary to their resistance to its effects. Aspirin resistance, its prevalence, its identification, and how to overcome or avert it with other medications then becomes a central topic of discussion as important, if not more so, than the importance of aspirin itself as a cornerstone in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease. This review explores the current understanding of the mechanism of aspirin resistance with regard to its prevalence and the magnitude of its clinical significance. It also examines the therapeutic implications of a diagnosis of aspirin resistance.
阿司匹林是心血管疾病患者中使用最广泛的药物。它对心血管疾病患者的影响比任何其他药物都更大。几十年来,阿司匹林的重要性已为人所知,最近越来越清楚的是,一些患者由于对其作用产生抵抗,并未从这种“神奇药物”中获得同样大的益处。阿司匹林抵抗、其患病率、其识别方法,以及如何用其他药物克服或避免它,随之成为一个核心讨论话题,其重要性即便不比阿司匹林本身作为心血管疾病患者治疗基石的重要性更大,至少也是同等重要。这篇综述探讨了目前对阿司匹林抵抗机制的理解,包括其患病率及其临床意义的程度。它还研究了阿司匹林抵抗诊断的治疗意义。
