PS172 The Effect of Haematological Variables on the Verifynow P2y12 Assay in Coronary Artery Disease Patients (CAD) Undergoing Interventional Angiographic Procedure

The VerifyNow P2Y12 (VN-P2Y12) assay is a whole blood platelets function test (PFT) which is widely used to asses clopidogrel high on treatment platelets reactivity (HTPR). The test results are presented in P2Y12 reaction units (PRU), percent of inhibition (%Inh) and baseline (BASE). The PRU value has been established as the expression of HTPR. However, the optimal PRU cut-off point of HTPR is variable among literature which hinders using it for the personalization of antiplatelet therapy. This variation may be due to the interference of haematological variables.
