Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) receiving aspirin therapy with a residual platelet reactivity (RPR) may be at increased risk of ischemic vascular events. Point-of-care (POC) methods PFA-100 (Dade-Behring, Marburg, Germany) and VerifyNow (Accumetrics, San Diego, CA) assays have been suggested as rapid tools to evaluate RPR. We compared PFA-100 closure times by collagen/epinephrine and VerifyNow Aspirin assays with light transmission aggregation (LTA) induced by 1 mmol/L of arachidonic acid in 484 patients with CAD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and receiving dual antiplatelet therapy. RPR was detected in 30.0% of patients by LTA, in 32.4% by PFA-100, and in 14.3% by VerifyNow. Significant correlations were found among 3 methods (all P < .0001). In relation to the presence or absence of RPR by LTA and PFA-100, by LTA and VerifyNow, and by PFA-100 and VerifyNow, samples were significantly concordant (all P < .0001). Assuming LTA as the reference method, PFA-100 and VerifyNow showed sensitivity of 62.1% and 39.3% and specificity of 80.2% and 96.4%, respectively. The cutoff values for POC methods need to be defined for clinical use.
接受阿司匹林治疗但仍有残余血小板反应性(RPR)的冠心病(CAD)患者发生缺血性血管事件的风险可能会增加。即时检测(POC)方法,即PFA-100(德国马尔堡达德-拜林公司)和VerifyNow(加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥Accumetrics公司)检测,已被提议作为评估RPR的快速工具。我们比较了484例接受经皮冠状动脉介入治疗并接受双联抗血小板治疗的CAD患者,通过胶原/肾上腺素检测的PFA-100封闭时间以及VerifyNow阿司匹林检测结果与1 mmol/L花生四烯酸诱导的透光率聚集(LTA)结果。通过LTA检测,30.0%的患者存在RPR;通过PFA-100检测,32.4%的患者存在RPR;通过VerifyNow检测,14.3%的患者存在RPR。三种方法之间存在显著相关性(所有P < .0001)。就LTA和PFA-100、LTA和VerifyNow以及PFA-100和VerifyNow检测RPR的情况而言,样本具有显著的一致性(所有P < .0001)。以LTA作为参考方法,PFA-100和VerifyNow的敏感性分别为62.1%和39.3%,特异性分别为80.2%和96.4%。POC方法的临界值需要为临床应用进行定义。
