Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of combined anti-platelets drugs on platelet activation in the elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods Totally 72 elderly patients with ACS were divided randomly into two groups according to age ≤ 80 years and > 80 years.Aspirin 100 mg/d plus clopidogrel 75 mg/d were used in all the patients for 2 weeks.The positive glycoprotein Ⅱb/Ⅲa and P-selectin expressions on the surface of platelets were assessed with flow cytometry (FCM) after the platelets were activated by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and arachidonic acid.Results The expressions of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa and P-selectin were (73.5± 11.0,71.2±8.7) % at baseline and (51.3±9.1,57.3±12.4)% after anti-platelets medicine more than 14 days in group of age≤80 years.than 14 days.The expression of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa and P-selectin were (78.3 ±12.7,75.8±8.6)% on the surface of platelet at baseline in group of age> 80 years,after anti-platelets medicine treatment were (41.2±8.5,47.3±10.3)%.The positive expressions of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa and P-selectin in group of age> 80 years were decreased compared with those in group of age≤ 80 years after combination of medicines treatment (P<0.05).Conclusions Combined aspirin and Clopidogrel treatment have a more strong effect in inhibiting the activation of platelets in the elderly patients more than 80-year with ACS.
