Claudio Laudani, Cardiovascular Disease Fellow UNICT, Post-Doc Research Scholar UFHealth JAX, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Race has been shown to have a significant influence on clinical outcomes in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
However, the mechanisms behind such association are still poorly understood.
In this manuscript, we explored biological condition that may be responsible for such association, finding that among participant with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease on chronic clopidogrel treatment, Black individuals have higher platelet reactivity (related to P2Y12 receptor activity) compared to non-Black individual.
In addition, we further confirmed the increased risk of MACE and myocardial infarction of Black individuals compared to non-black individuals among patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI.
These data highlight how further efforts are needed to reduce disparities between races, focusing on both healthcare access and biological process to guide the decision-making.”
