Aspirin Resistance 11-Dehydrothromboxane B2 Test
Introduction
The Aspirin Resistance 11-Dehydrothromboxane B2 Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to evaluate the effectiveness of aspirin therapy in patients at risk of cardiovascular diseases. Aspirin is commonly prescribed to prevent blood clots, but not all patients respond to it effectively. This test helps clinicians identify those who may not benefit from aspirin therapy, allowing for timely intervention and alternative treatment strategies.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the levels of 11-dehydrothromboxane B2, a stable metabolite of thromboxane A2, which is involved in platelet activation and aggregation. Elevated levels may indicate aspirin resistance, suggesting that the patient’s risk for thrombotic events remains high despite aspirin therapy.
Who Should Consider This Test?

- Patients with a history of cardiovascular events who are on aspirin therapy.
- Individuals experiencing recurrent cardiovascular symptoms despite aspirin use.
- Patients with risk factors for heart diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.
Benefits of Taking the Test
By undergoing this test, patients can:
- Determine whether their aspirin therapy is effective in preventing cardiovascular events.
- Receive personalized treatment recommendations based on their test results.
- Improve their overall heart health and reduce the risk of serious complications.
