CD37 as a Regulator of Platelet Patho(Physiological) Responses
SUMMARY Eighty-five percent (85%) of cardiovascular disease deaths occur due to either myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke, platelet-driven events. While antiplatelet therapy for secondary CVD prevention is well-established, antiplatelet therapy is not commonly prescribed to prevent a first MI or stroke as the cardioprotective benefits are offset by major bleeding risk. The well-established role of platelets in the pathogenesis of MI and stroke and the lack of platelet-directed therapeutic options for primary CVD prevention necessitates investigating novel platelet targets which would impact the multifaceted effects of platelets without impacting hemostasis. Furthermore, while platelets…
