Abstract
Aspirin is currently known to give inadequate protection against coronary artery disease in diabetes compared to person without it. We evaluated 97 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes for assessing laboratory aspirin resistance and attempted to assess the impact of various clinical and biochemical parameters on it. Thirty-eight patients (39.1%) were found to be less sensitive to the action of aspirin, 7 persons (7.2%) were found to be resistant and 31 persons (31.9%) were aspirin semi-responders. Only total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride had statistically significant impact on aspirin resistance (p<0.05). Three persons out of 9 with some form of macrovascular disease had aspirin resistance.
