The hypotheses of the study are that the diagnostic accuracy of Multiplate® device for diagnosis of aspirin resistance is comparable to the serum TXB2 assay and that certain genetic polymorphisms and phenotypic factors significantly influence the antiplatelet effect of aspirin and contribute to aspirin resistance observed in this study.
Fasting blood samples will be obtained from patients in the study centre after fasting overnight for at least 10 hours immediately before and 1 hour after the 80 mg aspirin dose. A 5-ml blood sample will be obtained in a serum separator tube and allowed to clot at room temperature followed by centrifugation at 4 degrees C. Separated serum will be stored in aliquots at -80°C until analysis of TXB2. A 3-ml blood sample will be obtained in a hirudin blood tube for the platelet aggregation test with the Multiplate® analyzer which will be performed within 3 hours after blood collection. A 10 ml blood sample will be obtained in an ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) tube to be used for DNA extraction. During the study, a total of 26 ml blood will be taken from each participant. Morning urine samples before and 1 hour after aspirin ingestion will also be collected and stored at -80 °C until measurement.
The platelet activity of the samples will be measured with the hirudin blood using the Multiplate analyzer from Roche (Roche Diagnostics International Ltd, CH-6343 Rotkreuz, Switzerland) according to the manufacturer's instructions for the arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation (ASPI) test. It will be analyzed within 0.5-3 hours after blood collection.
The serum samples will be assayed for TXB2 with EIA kits from Cayman (Item no. 501020, Cayman Chemical, MI, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The urine will be assayed for 11-dehydro TXB2 using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EIA) kit from Cayman (Item no. 519510, Cayman Chemical, MI, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The data will then be standardized with urinary creatinine measured with Cayman creatinine (urinary) colorimetric assay kit (item no 500701).
The 11-dehydro TXB2 data will be standardized with the urinary creatinine levels measured by Creatinine (urinary) Colorimetric Assay kit from Cayman (Item no. 500701, Cayman Chemical, MI, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Genomic DNA of the patients will be extracted from EDTA blood by using phenol chloroform. The following six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) will be investigated initially: ITGA2 rs1126643, ITGA2B rs5911, PTGS1 rs1330344, ADK rs16931294, PEAR1 rs12041331 and COX2 rs20417. The SNPs will be assayed with TaqMan SNP genotyping assays from Applied Biosystems (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) by Thermo Fisher Scientific according to the product inserts.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Patients aged ≥ 18 years who have a history of stable CHD receiving long-term mono-antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (80 mg once daily)
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients aged ≥ 18 years who have a history of stable coronary heart disease (CHD) receiving long-term mono-antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (80 mg once daily)
Other: Blood samples will be taken to assess platelet function. There is no change in treatment.
serum thromboxane B2 (TXB2) concentrations
Serum TXB2 concentrations will be measured by using an enzyme immunoassay kit to assess the adequacy of platelet cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 inactivation by aspirin. Each subject will only attend on one day.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Multiplate® analyzer aspirin assay (ASPI test) platelet aggregation test
Multiplate® analyzer aspirin assay (ASPI test) platelet aggregation test will be measured by impedance aggregometry using the Multiplate® analyzer. Whole blood aggregation is performed using the on screen Multiplate protocol. Each subject will only attend on one day.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Genotyping of COX1 gene, which may be related to aspirin antiplatelet effect.
The COX1 gene polymorphism will be determined to assess if it is related to the aspirin antiplatelet effect measured by the ASPI test.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
Genotyping of thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R) gene, which may be related to aspirin antiplatelet effect.
The TBXA2R gene polymorphisms will be determined to assess if it is related to the aspirin antiplatelet effect measured by the ASPI test.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.
