The risk of excessive bleeding prompts physicians to discontinue aspirin in patients on low-dose, long-term therapy which in turn puts them at the risk from adverse cardiovascular and thrombotic events. Effect of low-dose aspirin therapy on platelet function was assessed using platelet aggregation method. The aim was to correlate the laboratory platelet function with cutaneous and clinical oral bleeding time (BT).
