ABSTRACT

Objective:

To investigate the effects of a loading dose of clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate on hemorheology and neurological function in patients with acute progressive cerebral infarction.

Methods:

A total of 110 patients with acute progressive cerebral infarction who received treatment between January 2018 and January 2019 in the Affiliated Hospital of Shaoxing University, China were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either conventional treatment (control group, n = 55) or treatment with a loading dose of clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate based on conventional treatment (study group, n = 55) for 2 weeks. Hemorheological parameters, National Institute Health of Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and adverse reactions were compared between the study and control groups.

Results:

After treatment, the levels of hemorheological parameters in both groups were obviously decreased. Plasma viscosity, high-shear whole blood viscosity, low-shear whole blood viscosity, fibrinogen level and hematocrit in the study group were (1.01± 0.37) mPa/s, (4.23 ± 0.35) mPa/s, (8.36 ± 1.64) mPa/s, (1.23 ± 0.28) g/L, (40.08 ± 5.04) %, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(1.84 ± 0.52) mPa/s, (5.44 ± 0.39) mPa/s, (10.54 ± 1.79) mPa/s, (2.30 ± 0.37) g/L, (44.36 ± 5.12) %, t = 5.485, 8.594, 9.523, 7.789, 11.236, P = 0.019, 0.006, 0.004, 0.007, 0.001]. After treatment, NIHSS scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(3.11 ± 1.17) points vs. (6.43 ± 2.25) points, t = 10.416, P = 0.003). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between study and control groups [5.45% (3/55) vs. 9.09% (5/55), χ2 = 0.539, P = 0.463).

Conclusion:

The loading dose of clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate is highly effective in the treatment of acute progressive cerebral infarction and it can greatly improve hemorheological parameters and neurological function.
