Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the potential differences in thrombogenicity between black and white patients admitted with atherothrombotic events including acute coronary syndrome, multi-vessel coronary disease, and ischemic stroke.
Participants will engage in laboratory testing and health outcome assessments.
