Comparison of platelet function during exercise in normal subjects and coronary artery disease patients: Potential role of platelet activation in myocardial ischemia

American Heart Journal
J Mehta, P Mehta

Abstract

Platelet function parameters as influenced by exercise stress were evaluated in 22 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and in 13 normal subjects. Upon exercise stress, 14 CAD patients exhibited positive tests and eight exhibited negative tests. Platelet counts during exercise increased similarly in normal and CAD patients. Platelet aggregation response to ADP was unaffected by exercise both in normal and CAD patients. Platelets from 7 of the 14 CAD patients with positive stress tests had increased sensitivity to endoperoxide analog (U-46619) defined as less than 200 ng/ml U-46619 required for 50% platelet aggregation. Resting plasma beta-thromboglobulin (B-TG) levels, an index of in vivo platelet activation, were significantly higher in CAD patients compared to normal subjects (74 +/- 7 and 41 +/- 5 ng/ml, respectively; p less than 0.02). During exercise plasma B-TG levels increased in normal subjects to 60 +/- 5 ng/ml. In contrast, B-TG levels increased to 102 +/- 14 ng/ml in CAD patients (p less than 0.01 compared to normal subjects). These increases were transient and B-TG declined to preexercise values soon after exercise. Eleven of the 12 CAD patients with positive exercise stress tests had increases in plasma B-TG...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
