متن کاملShould routine platelet testing be done on all patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention? Routine Platelet Testing Should Not Be Performed on All Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
We all know that clopidogrel reduces thrombotic complications during and after a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure.

One of the basic principles of medical care is that a diagnostic test should inform a clinical decision. If the test is uninformative, it is not useful; if no decision is to be made then a diagnostic test is not necessary. Indeed, performing a diagnostic test when it adds nothing to the decision-making process is not only a waste of healthcare resources, it is potentially harmful, leading to in...
