Approximately 81 million Americans suffer from one or more types of cardiovascular disease.¹ Additionally, an estimated 17.5 million people in the world die of cardiovascular disease every year.² If you have heart disease, your doctor may have prescribed daily antiplatelet medications (sometimes incorrectly referred to as blood thinners) such as aspirin, Plavix^® or Effient^®. These antiplatelet medications help keep platelets from sticking together, and therefore can help prevent life-threatening blood clots – the cause of 90% of all heart attacks³.

Even though you are taking your antiplatelet medication, you may not be getting the full protection that you need. The FDA recently issued a warning that Plavix may have reduced effectiveness in some patients.

• Studies show that up to 1 in 3 patients may not respond adequately to
  their antiplatelet medications^4,5. Find out more

• Patients who are not responding adequately to their antiplatelet medications
  may be at significantly higher risk of heart attack, stroke and death^6-9.

The VerifyNow^® Aspirin Test and the VerifyNow P2Y12 Test can help your
physician assess how YOUR platelets are responding to aspirin, Plavix or Effient.
