NCT ID NCT04295850
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how aspirin affects platelet function in 130 pregnant women at high risk for preeclampsia. Researchers measured platelet response and genetic factors to see if they could predict who develops high blood pressure disorders. The goal is to eventually personalize aspirin dosing for better prevention.
