Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First, we tested the utility of T-TAS in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) with or without antiplatelet therapies. We measured PL-AUC levels by T-TAS in 372 patients who were divided into three groups; patients not on any antiplatelet therapy (control), on aspirin only, and on aspirin and clopidogrel. PL-AUC levels were significantly lower in two antiplatelet therapy groups compared with control group, and the level was significantly lower in the aspirin/clopidogrel group than aspirin group. Next, we evaluated the utility of T-TAS in predicting periprocedural bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing catheter ablation (CA) by measuring AR-AUC levels on the day, 3 and 30 days post-CA. AR-AUC levels at the day of CA and 3 days post-CA was associated with periprocedural bleeding events, suggesting that AR-AUC level determined by T-TAS is a potentially useful marker for prediction of bleeding events in AF patients undergoing CA.
