New blood test detects sensitivity to aspirin

Scientists have developed a new blood test that deciphers gene activity and predicts an individual's response to aspirin, says a study. 

The new gene expression profile not only measures the effectiveness of aspirin, but also serves as a strong predictor of patients who are at risk for heart attack, according to a study.

"We recognised the concept of aspirin resistance among a population of patients who have cardiac events or stroke," said a senior author.

"We give the same dose to all patients, but maybe some patients need a larger dose of aspirin, or maybe they need to try a different therapy entirely. We need better tools to monitor patients and adjust their care accordingly, and the findings from our study move us in that direction," said the Dr.
