Abstract
BACKGROUND Thomboelastography (TEG) is a point of care viscoelastic test that provides an assessment of clot formation and kinetics. Antiplatelet agents are commonly used but there is limited literature evaluating their possible effects on overall clot kinetics. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between antiplatelet agents and clot kinetics as defined by TEG. METHODS This is a retrospective study of adult patients who underwent TEG from February 2018 to July 2020. Patients who received anticoagulants or blood transfusions within 72 hours, had an incomplete TEG, were diagnosed with COVID-19, or had liver failure were excluded. Patients were stratified based on antiplatelet status. RESULTS Of 1060 patients, 119 were included (50 controls, 69 antiplatelet agents-37 aspirin monotherapy, 26 dual antiplatelet therapy). Between the control and antiplatelet therapy groups, there was no significant difference in clot time, maximal clot strength, or fibrinogen level. When compared to control patients, patients on dual antiplatelets had significantly higher fibrinogen levels (408.1 mg/dL vs 481.5 mg/dL, P = .013) but no significant differences in clot time or maximal clot strength. In our subgroup analysis, patients on dual antiplatelets had increased maximal clot strength (58.8° vs 63°, P = .005) and fibrinogen levels (384.1 mg/dL vs 481.5 mg/dL, P = .005) compared to those on aspirin alone. DISCUSSION Compared to control patients and those on aspirin alone, patients on dual antiplatelets have increased maximal clot strength and increased fibrinogen levels. These results can help physicians better target product resuscitation in patients who are on antiplatelet agents.

Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), characterized by high morbidity and mortality, has imposed a considerable burden on society. Despite rapid development in the treatment of AIS, there is still a high risk of recurrence. Furthermore, there is a time delay in waiting for the results of conventional coagulation tests in candidate patients for intravenous thrombolysis therapy. Heterogeneous responses to antiplatelet, intravascular thrombolysis, and endovascular therapies also worsen the situation. Thromboelastography (TEG), as a global and portable detection method for hemostasis, facilitates clinicians in disease monitoring, treatment evaluation, and prognosis prediction in AIS. In this narrative review, we provided a comprehensive summary of the clinical application of TEG in ischemic stroke and gave insights to further studies.

Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to cerebral artery occlusion is often treated by thrombolytics or antithrombotic drugs. Thromboelastography (TEG) is a noninvasive test that provides a dynamic overview of the coagulation process. TEG may help guide thrombolytic and antithrombotic therapy in AIS. This article aims to highlight the potential use of TEG in AIS patients by reviewing available studies. We conducted a literature review, including PubMed and Cochrane library databases. The following keywords were used to find relevant studies: thromboelastography, TEG, acute ischemic stroke, stroke, coagulopathy, antiplatelet, and anticoagulant treatment. We identified 142 papers and after abstract review, we included 24 studies in this report. TEG identified a hypercoagulable state in AIS patients represented by short R, K, and greater α: angle in all papers included. Modification of TEG parameters induced by intravenous thrombolysis was inconsistent but prolonged lysis (increased LY30) and weaker clots (lower maximum amplitude) were most frequent. TEG detected hypo-coagulopathy induced by dual antiplatelet therapy as well as antiplatelet drug resistance, with ticagrelor and aspirin having greater inhibition of platelet activity. A prolonged R-value seems to be the most reliable TEG parameter in detecting the anticoagulant effect of factor Xa inhibitor treatment. TEG might represent a useful point-of-care test for emergency decision-making in AIS patients and a tool for individualized treatment options. This hypothesis needs validation in a large cohort of prospectively studied AIS patients.

Abstract
The platelets play a crucial role in the progression of multiple medical conditions, such as stroke and tumor metastasis, where antiplatelet therapy may be a boon for treating these diseases. In this study, we have attempted to study the effects of extracted Momordica charantia exosomes (MCEs) on platelet activation, adhesion, and aggregation. Adult platelets isolated from healthy individuals were dose-dependently treated with MCEs (0.1, 40, and 200 μg/ml). We performed flow cytometry to detect the expression of platelet activation protein marker-activated GP IIb/IIIa (PAC-1) and P-selectin (CD62P). Platelet adhesion was analyzed through fluorescence labeling assays. The effect of MCEs on platelet-mediated cell migration of HCT116 cells was observed by transwell. Furthermore, the MCAO model of Sprague-Dawley rats was used to observe the effect of MCEs (200, 400, and 800 μg/kg) on platelet aggregation and maximum thrombotic agglutination in vivo. The results showed that 200 μg/ml MCEs exerted the most pronounced effect on platelet activation, adhesion, and aggregation. Experiments on animals showed that MCEs significantly inhibited platelet aggregation and attenuated the maximum thrombus agglutination. We concluded that MCEs inhibited platelet activation, adhesion, aggregation, and platelet-mediated migration of HCT116 cells, indicating the potential role MCEs may play in the treatment of stroke and tumor metastasis.

Abstract
“Aspirin resistance” (AR) is associated with increased risk of vascular events. We aimed to compare different platelet function tests used in identifying AR and assess their implications on clinical outcome. We performed platelet aggregation studies on non-cardioembolic ischaemic stroke patients taking aspirin 100 mg/day and 30 non-stroke controls. Data were collected on demographics, vascular risk factors, and concomitant medications. Cut-offs for AR were (1) light transmission aggregometry (LTA) of ≥20% using arachidonic acid (AA), ≥70% using ADP, or ≥60% using collagen; and (2) VerifyNow® assay ≥ 550 ARU. Telephone follow-ups were conducted by study staff blinded to AR status to ascertain the occurrence of vascular outcomes (stroke, myocardial infarction, amputation, death). A total of 113 patients were recruited, mean age 65 ± 8 years, 47% women, 45 ± 15 days from index stroke. 50 (44.3%, 95% CI 34.9–53.9) had AR on at least 1 test. Frequency of AR varied from 0% to 39% depending on method used and first vs. recurrent stroke. There were strong correlations between LTA AA, VerifyNow® and Multiplate® ASPItest (r = 0.7457–0.8893), but fair to poor correlation between LTA collagen and Multiplate® COLtest (r = 0.5887) and between LTA ADP and Multiplate® ADPtest (r = 0.0899). Of 103 patients with a mean follow up of 801 ± 249 days, 10 (9.7%) had vascular outcomes, of which six had AR by LTA-ADP. AR by LTA-ADP is associated with increased risk of vascular outcome (p = 0.034). Identification of AR is not consistent across different platelet function tests. LTA of ≥70% using 10 µM ADP in post-stroke patients taking aspirin is associated with increased risk of vascular outcome.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a disease related to abnormal blood flow that leads to brain dysfunction. The early and late phases of the disease are distinguished. A distinction is made between the early and late stages of the disease, and the best effect in treating an ischemic stroke is usually achieved within the first hours after the onset of symptoms. This review looked at studies platelet activity monitoring studies to determine the risks and benefits of various approaches including antiplatelet therapy. A study was conducted on recently published literature based on PRISMA. This review includes 32 research articles directly addressing the importance of monitoring platelet function during antiplatelet therapy (dual or monotherapy) after ischemic stroke. In patients with transient ischemic attack or ischemic stroke, antiplatelet therapy can reduce the risk of stroke by 11–15%, assuming that patients respond well. Secondary prevention results are dependent on platelet reactivity, meaning that patients do not respond equally to antiplatelet therapy. It is very important that aspirin-resistant patients can benefit from the use of dual antiplatelet therapy. The individualized approach to secondary stroke prevention is to administer the most appropriate drug at the correct dose and apply the optimal therapeutic procedure to the individual patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To precisely prevent stroke, we evaluated three platelet function tests and their associations with clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. METHODS On-treatment platelet reactivity of acute minor stroke patients taking aspirin plus clopidogrel was tested by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA), thromboelastography (TEG) and platelet function analyzer (PFA). Mann-Whitney U tests and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were used to assess their associations with recurrent events and clinical outcome prediction. RESULTS 127 acute minor stroke patients were stringently selected and followed for 13 months. Eight patients (6.3%) self-reported the recurrence and 13 (10.2%) patients self-reported bleeding. Recurrent patients displayed significantly higher on-treatment platelet reactivity when measured with LTA (p = 0.030) and PFA (p < 0.001). Further ROC analysis demonstrated that LTA and PFA had modest-to-fair ability to predict stroke recurrence (LTA: area under the curve [AUC], 0.765; 95% CI, 0.584-0.945, PFA: AUC, 0.832; 95% CI, 0.658-1.000). However, TEG (measured by the platelet inhibition rate) could not detect the difference between recurrent patients and non-recurrent patients (p = 0.515) and predict recurrent events (AUC, 0.569; 95% CI, 0.368-0.770). None of the tests were associated with bleeding except for PFA (p < 0.001), with AUC of PFA reaching 0.772 (0.726-0.818). CONCLUSIONS Of the three tests assessed, the predictive accuracies of PFA and LTA were satisfying for aspirin secondary prevention, while TEG's performance was poor. Only PFA could provide accurate prognostic information for bleeding.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the world's leading causes of disability and death. Antiplatelet agents are administered to acute ischemic stroke patients as secondary prevention. Clopidogrel involves biotransformation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes into an active metabolite, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can influence the efficacy of this biotransformation. Despite the therapeutic advantages of aspirin, there is significant inter-individual heterogeneity in response to this antiplatelet drug. In this clinical review, the recent advances in the biomarkers of antiplatelet agents in acute ischemic stroke are discussed. The studies reviewed herein highlight the clinical relevance of antiplatelet resistance, pharmacotherapy of antiplatelet agents predicting drug response, strategies for identifying aspirin resistance, pharmacogenetic variants of antiplatelet agents, miRNAs, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) as biomarkers toward the personalized approach in the management of acute ischemic stroke. The precise pathways contributing to antiplatelet resistance are not very well known but are presumably multi-factorial. It is essential to understand the clinical relevance of clopidogrel and aspirin-related single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) as potential predictive and prognostic biomarkers. Prasugrel is a next-generation antiplatelet agent that prevents ADP-platelet activation by binding irreversibly to P2Y12 receptor. There are sporadic reports of prasugrel resistance and polymorphisms in the Platelet endothelial aggregation receptor-1 (PEAR1) that may contribute to a change in the pharmacodynamics response. Ticagrelor, a direct-acting P2Y12-receptor antagonist, is easily absorbed and partly metabolized to major AR-C124910XX metabolite (ARC). Ticagrelor's primary active metabolite, ARC124910XX (ARC), is formed via the most abundant hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5. The integration of specific biomarkers, genotype as well as phenotype-related data in antiplatelet therapy stratification in patients with acute ischemic stroke will be of great clinical significance and could be used as a guiding tool for more effective, personalized therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been few studies on CYP2C19 genotypes and clopidogrel response associated with ischemic stroke (IS), especially IS complicated by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to investigate the possible association between CYP2C19 polymorphisms and high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) in IS patients with T2DM in China. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 426 consecutive IS patients with T2DM were enrolled in this case-control study and they were divided into HTPR group and non-HTPR group according to the ADP-induced platelet inhibition (PIADP) assessed by thromboelastography (TEG). Genotypes were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Various clinical and demographic data were also recorded. The association between CYP2C19 genetic variants and platelet function was assessed. RESULTS Carriers of CYP2C19*2 heterozygous and mutant homozygous genotypes showed significantly lower PIADP than non-carriers (27.2% vs 38.3%, p < 0.001; 27.41% vs 38.3%, p = 0.012, respectively). Compared with the control group, the CYP2C19*2 A allele was more frequent in the HTPR group (34.51% vs 25.82%, p = 0.002). The carriage of CYP2C19*2 mutant allele was significantly associated with increased risk of HTPR (odds ratio (OR) = 1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.32-2.85). There was no significant correlation between CYP2C19*3 or *17 genotypes and HTPR risk. CONCLUSION CYP2C19*2 mutant allele was associated with attenuated platelet response to clopidogrel and increased risk of HTPR in IS patients with T2DM, suggesting that CYP2C19*2 polymorphism might be an important predictor of HTPR in this high-risk population.
