Figure 2 Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-fibrinogen binding (mean fluorescence units ± SEM) with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in study subjects by treatment strategy. Significant differences under different conditions of blockade were noted (p < 0.01). Multiple comparisons (six included in adjustment per plot) at each agonists concentrations revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) between treatment strategies as indicated. *Applies for differences between treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and with clopidogrel. Applies for differences treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and with ASA plus clopidogrel in combination.

Figure 3 Aggregation (mean percent ± SEM) with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (A) or collagen (B) dichotomized according to the PlA genotype. There is a significant interaction between agonist concentration and indicated PlA genotype for aggregation induced with ADP (A, p < 0.005) and collagen (B, p = 0.005). Multiple comparisons (six included in adjustment per plot) at each agonists concentrations revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) between PlA1/A1 and PlA1/A2 as indicated. *Applies for differences between PlA1/A1 and PlA1/A2.

Figure 4 Collagen-stimulated PlA1/A1 platelets were significantly more inhibited by acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) than PlA1/A2 platelets (p < 0.0001) as assessed by fluorescein isothiocyanate-fibrinogen binding (mean fluorescence units ± SEM). Multiple comparisons (six included in adjustment per plot) at each concentrations of collagen revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) between PlA1/A1 and PlA1/A2 platelets as indicated. *Applies for differences between PlA1/A1 and PlA1/A2.

Figure 5 In collagen-stimulated platelets, -granule release (as measured by CD62P; P-selectin expression) was dependent on PlA genotype, treatment strategy, and agonist concentration (mean fluorescence units ± SEM; p = 0.005).
