Your source for breakthrough platelet information and education plateletNEWS.org is a comprehensive website designed to provide physicians and other healthcare professionals with access to experts, emerging data, clinical updates, meeting reviews, and recommendations for advancements in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of platelet-related thrombotic complications of cardiovascular disease. The overall objectives of this initiative include:

• Review the mechanism of action of platelet activation and aggregation and increase the understanding of the role of platelet activation and aggregation in thrombotic complications following percutaneous coronary intervention and acute coronary syndrome
• Discuss contemporary approaches to identifying patients at risk for thrombotic events
• Determine the best-practice procedures in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of thrombotic complications through effective platelet inhibition
• Examine the therapeutic attributes necessary to reach the goal of effective platelet inhibition to prevent clinical events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
• Present the limitations of current oral antiplatelet therapies, as well as the opportunities afforded by novel therapies, to prevent early and late thrombotic complications in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
• Explore issues related to platelet resistance, including its definition and clinical implications
• Examine the demographics, health characteristics, and total health care utilization in the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients and review critical pathways to ensure optimal care in the acute-care and outpatient settings
