Aspirin Twice Daily in Diabetic Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

June 11, 2012 updated by: Dr Jean-Guillaume DILLINGER, Hopital Lariboisière

Biological Efficacy of Twice Daily Aspirin in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

The aim of the study is to evaluate platelet function variations according to the delay since last aspirin intake (12 vs 24 hours)in a population of diabetic patients with previous Coronary Artery Disease.

Detailed Description

We have previously demonstrated that there was a time-dependant efficacy of aspirin on platelet function. In this study, we investigate platelet function (fundamental research) according to the delay since last aspirin intake (12 vs 24 hours)in a population of diabetic patients with previous Coronary Artery Disease routinely treated with aspirin. In order to eliminate any variation linked to a cumulative dose effect of aspirn, platelet function is assessed 24 hours after a single 150 mg aspirin intake or 12 hours after a 75 mg aspirin intake given twice per day (corresponding to the same total dose of 150 mg /day). Light transmission aggregometry triggered by arachidonic acid 0.5mg/mL (LTA-AA) is the main endpoint of the study (intensity and velocity of agregation following exposure to arachidonic acid 0.5 mg/ml).

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Diabetic patients with coronary artery disease
Type 2 diabetic patients with previous coronary artery disease. All patients are routinely treated with aspirin in secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Coronary artery disease is defined as a previous coronary angiography with at least 1 coronary artery stenosis >50%. Type 2 diabetes is defined as patients with diabetes discovered after 30 years old and insulin was not the first treatment except in case of acute coronary syndrome.
