Abstract
We conclude that platelet activation increases rapidly at the onset of a myocardial infarction, despite aggressive anti-thrombotic treatment. The activation is more pronounced in diabetic subjects and tends to decrease within a few days. More targeted and effective anti-platelet therapy has the potential further to reduce cardiac and cerebral ischemic events following myocardial infarction and ongoing clinical trials are addressing this issue.
