In cardiovascular disease pathogenesis, key roles are played by hypercoagulation disorders mainly associated with platelet activation, aggregation processes, and endothelial dysfunction. Current research is studying new molecular species that might interfere with both previously known and new biochemical pathways, leading to the activation and aggregation of platelets, and growing evidence suggests close links between inflammation and thrombosis. It has been suggested that, in cardiovascular disease, circulating pentameric C-reactive protein (CRP) can dissociate into the monomeric form on activated platelets and the surface of circulating microvesicles, and this could potentially accelerate thrombogenesis and link platelet hemostatic processes with the immune response. Increased microvesicles level has confirmed the link between microvesicles and the inflammatory process in diseases with a strong inflammatory reaction. The treatment of coronary artery disease is partly based on properly selected pharmacotherapy. Despite the significant progress that has recently been made in recognizing and combatting abnormal response to oral antiplatelet agents, it is still unknown why some patients who receive dual antiplatelet therapy do not benefit from expected therapeutic effects. Part of the antithrombotic action that antiplatelet agents exert in different clinical settings may be explained by a modulation in the generation of platelet-derived microvesicles bound monomeric CRP. It is suggested that markers of inflammation, such as monomeric CRP or platelet-derived microvesicles, may provide markers of disease activity or response to treatment and may be used in the prognosis of the course of various diseases. This paper aims to provide an overview of the relationship between the monomeric form of C-reactive protein, associated with membrane microvesicles, higher platelet activation, and the possible association with lower antiplatelet response.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007249 Inflammation A pathological process characterized by injury or destruction of tissues caused by a variety of cytologic and chemical reactions. It is usually manifested by typical signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function. Innate Inflammatory Response,Inflammations,Inflammatory Response, Innate,Innate Inflammatory Responses
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D010975 Platelet Aggregation Inhibitors Drugs or agents which antagonize or impair any mechanism leading to blood platelet aggregation, whether during the phases of activation and shape change or following the dense-granule release reaction and stimulation of the prostaglandin-thromboxane system.

D002097 C-Reactive Protein A plasma protein that circulates in increased amounts during inflammation and after tissue damage. C-Reactive Protein measured by more sensitive methods often for coronary heart disease risk assessment is referred to as High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP).

D015539 Platelet Activation A series of progressive, overlapping events, triggered by exposure of the PLATELETS to subendothelial tissue. These events include shape change, adhesiveness, aggregation, and release reactions. When carried through to completion, these events lead to the formation of a stable hemostatic plug. Activation, Platelet,Activations, Platelet,Platelet Activations
