Abstract Background The dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration is a matter of great interest among cardiologists. Because of the conflicting evidences and the necessity to balance the reduction in major cardiac events (MACE) occurrence and the risk of major bleedings after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), there is a general consensus on prolonging DAPT on an individual basis. There is less consensus on which parameters are to be evaluated. Nowadays tests of platelet reactivity are not included in the decision-making. Few data are available on the prognostic value of aspirin response tests that are sensitive to other mediators of platelet adhesion and aggregation in vivo under flow condi…
