1 PAR: Platelet Aggregation Ratio. Data are presented as representative results relative to three independent determinations. Amplitude is expressed as ohms by maximum extent of platelet aggregation, and slope (rate of reaction) is determined by drawing a tangent through the steepest part of curve. Area under the curve (AUC) was calculated from the platelet aggregation curve.
