Resistencia a la aspirina: prevalencia, mecanismos de acción y asociación con eventos tromboembólicos. Revisión narrativa

Lack of response to aspirin decreases its protective effects. However, lack of a standard definition for aspirin resistance, the absence of diagnostic reference methods to identify resistant patients, and the different mechanisms of action involved in platelet aggregation call the clinical importance of this fact into question. Additional well-designed studies are needed to detect patients with real resistance in order to have more effective prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
