Abstract EN
Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased prevalence of vascular disease.
Pathologic thrombosis associated with atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a major cause of morbidity and mortality.
Platelets are intimately involved in the initiation and propagation of thrombosis.
Evidence suggests that platelets from patients with type 2 diabetes have increased reactivity and baseline activation compared to healthy controls.
We review the pathophysiology of platelet hyperreactivity in DM patients and its implications in clinical practice, with particular focus on acute coronary syndromes, percutaneous coronary intervention, and novel antiplatelet agents.
