Abstract
The IMPACT-R ADP-test is relatively insensitive to the effects of clopidogrel and cannot substitute for methods such as flowcytometric VASP-analysis and optical aggregometry. Further studies are required to establish the clinical usefulness of IMPACT-R ADP-test to accurately predict the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity before it can be implemented in clinical practice.
