Abstract
The objective was to assess the impact of antiplatelet therapy using acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation in patients with diabetes mellitus and a history of ischemic stroke.
Methods and materials. Two groups of patients (target and control) were selected, comprising 72 individuals who had experienced either a lacunar or an atherothrombotic subtype of ischemic stroke within the past two years, accompanied by multifocal atherosclerosis. The target group consisted of 38 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, managed through hypoglycemic therapy, while the control group included 34 patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Results. The evaluation of aggregatometry results revealed that platelet hypoaggregation was significantly more prevalent in response to acetylsalicylic acid therapy in the group of patients without diabetes mellitus. In contrast, laboratory resistance to acetylsalicylic acid was notable predominant in the group of patients with diabetes mellitus. This resistance may indicate insufficient therapeutic efficacy in clinical practice, potentially leading to recurrent cardiovascular events.
Conclusion. It is advisable to incorporate platelet aggregation capacity assessment via impedance aggegatometry as part of secondary prevention strategies for ischemic stroke to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of the antiplatelet drugs. Additionally, identifying excessive platelet hypoaggregation may be crucial in patients with an elevated risk of bleeding.
