Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to establish a cut off level of platelet inhibition that separates patients with or without previous stent occlusion with acute clinical onset while on aspirin and clopidogrel treatment within 6 months after coronary stenting for coronary artery disease.
Detailed description
To establish cut off levels of platelet inhibition using ADP-induced P2Y12-receptor mediated platelet aggregation using Accumetrics VerifyNow P2Y12 assay (PRU) and Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP, PRI %)for patients with experienced stent occlusion with acute clinical onset and/or myocardial infarction within 6 months after coronary stenting for coronary artery disease.
Interventions
Patients not already on clopidogrel treatment a loading dose of clopidogrel 600 mg followed by a maintenance dose of 75 mg once daily will be administered.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Provide signed written informed consent. * Male or female patients above 18 years old. * Previous PCI and coronary stenting for coronary artery disease * Previous (after coronary stenting) or current dual antiplatelet treatment (aspirin 75 mg once daily (o.d) and clopidogrel 75 mg o.d). All patients need to be on treatment with aspirin 75 mg once daily at least seven days prior to enrollment. * Experienced one of the following alternatives: * Stent thrombosis within 6 months of PCI while on dual antiplatelet treatment; OR * Experienced MI within 6 month after coronary stenting while on dual antiplatelet treatment; OR * No experience of stent thrombosis or MI for at least 6 months and until visit 1 (matched control)
