POCT in the Management of
Antiplatelet Therapy –
Patient Response, Treatment
Optimization and Personalized
Medicine
Wednesday, April 14, 2010 from 10 AM
- 12 Noon PST
Presented by Jackie Coleman, Ph.D.,
Director of Scientific Affairs,
Accumetrics, Inc.
Summary: Response to
antiplatelet medication varies
widely in individuals, and the
assessment of this response is
required to maximize good outcomes.
This presentation will cover the
development of antiplatelet
medications and explore the
inter-individual variability in
their efficacy and safety. Methods
of analysis of platelet response to
these medications at the
point-of-care will be discussed.
Case studies will be presented to
demonstrate how these assays improve
outcomes through personalized
medicine.
Objectives:
-
To gain an understanding of
the variability in patient
response to antiplatelet
therapy
-
Be apprised of the latest
studies linking platelet
reactivity to outcomes
-
Gain insight into the
laboratory methods used for
assessing platelet
reactivity in response to
antiplatelet therapy
-
Review emerging data showing
the clinical utility of
assessing response and
practical impact on therapy
