Abstract

Incomplete inhibition of platelet thromboxane generation, as measured by elevated urinary 11-dehydro thromboxane B(2) concentrations, has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. We aimed to determine the external validity of this association in aspirin-treated patients enrolled in the Clopidogrel for High Atherothrombotic Risk and Ischemic Stabilization, Management and Avoidance (CHARISMA) trial and to determine whether there are any modifiable factors or interventions that lower urinary 11-dehydro thromboxane B(2) concentrations that could thereby reduce cardiovascular risk.
