Platelet release and thromboxane synthesis in symptomatic coronary artery disease.
Abstract
The incidence and significance of platelet activation in myocardial ischemia was evaluated by serial measurement of plasma thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and beta thromboglobulin (beta TG) in plasma and urine in 98 patients admitted to a coronary care unit with chest pain. All measurements were normal in the 26 patients with noncardiac chest pain. Mean plasma TXB2 and beta TG concentration, but not urine beta TG, were elevated in the 25 patients with …
