  1. Introduction to Aspirin Resistance. May 10, 2004 Steven R. Steinhubl, MD

  2. Aspirin History (From the German acetylspirsaure + chemical suffix – in) First synthesized in pure form by Felix Hoffman of Friedr. Bayer & Co. in 1897.

  3. Aspirin History Due to problems with the original Aspirin powder being counterfeited, it became the first pharmaceutical agent ever sold in pill form in early 1900’s. First pill in USA was 5 grains (~325 mg).

  8. What is “Aspirin Resistance?” • Inability of ASA to prevent treated patients from having thrombotic events. • Inability of ASA therapy to prolong bleeding time. • Inability of treatment with ASA to prevent thromboxane biosynthesis. • Inability of ASA to achieve a pre-defined effect on an ex vivo or in vitro measure of platelet function.

  15. Possible Mechanisms for Variability in Response to Aspirin • Decreased bioavailability • Non-compliance • Concomitant NSAIDs • Platelet function • Accelerated platelet turnover • Increased platelet COX-2 • Platelet Receptor Polymorphisms • Other factors DeGaetano G. J Thromb Haemost 2003;1:2048-50

Non-Enzymatic Lipid Peroxidation Catalyzed by Free Radicals 12-Lipoxygenase 12-HETE, 12-HPETE -  Platelet Adhesivity • Isoprostanes • Amplifies platelet response • to other agonists. • Vasoconstrictor • Plasma levels 1-2 orders • of magnitude > COX • -derived metabolites.

European ancestry are PlA2 +. Cooke, Lancet 1998;351:

  18. Aspirin Resistance: Role of COX-2 ? • Aspirin is 170-fold more potent inhibitor of COX-1 than COX-2. • Platelets from 20 different donors were COX-2 positive. • COX-2 expression in platelets increased 16-fold in 9 post-CABG patients. (Zimmermann AHA 1999) Weber A-A Lancet 1999;353:900

  19. Conclusions • Every study that has ever evaluated individual responsiveness to ASA has found marked variability. • Most studies have been able to correlate this variability with a clinically significant increase in thrombotic events. • The ability to identify the substantial proportion of patients who are unable to achieve an adequate response to ASA has the potential to dramatically improve their antithrombotic regimen and with it, long-term outcomes.
