beta-Thromboglobulin in acute myocardial infarction

Abstract

The plasma beta-thromboglobulin level was studied serially in 14 patients with acute myocardial infarction. In 7 patients the plasma beta-thromboglobulin was initially high. The most severely affected patients had the highest values. Three patients with a mild or moderate clinical course had a normal beta-thromboglobulin level at every stage. The remaining patients had a distinct pattern in the evolution of the plasma beta-thromboglobulin values. The initial phase was followed by a uniform fall during the first days and then by an increase. The highest values were in many cases measured at discharge. Platelet counts showed a similar pattern. Signs of activation of platelets were seen before changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
