Abstract

Disclosed herein are biomarkers of platelet function and methods for assessing platelet function in response to anti-platelet therapy and for determining a prognosis, diagnosis, or risk identification in a patient by detecting at least one biomarker of platelet function in the patient as well as determining amounts thereof. The biomarkers may be used to identify a patient as a candidate for treatment with an antiplatelet agent and to monitor and adjust antiplatelet therapy in a patient.
