Summary
This study will explore the effect of clopidogrel on coated-platelets in patients who are
given a loading dose before diagnostic catheterization or percutaneous coronary intervention.
We hypothesis that clopidogrel will reduce the percentage of platelets that are coated and
therefore more hypercoagulable.
