title: [Effect of chronic antiplatelet treatment on platelet activating factor-induced platelet activity in stroke].
abstract: The effect of chronic antiplatelet treatment on PAF--induced platelet aggregation, ATP--release, and cytoplasmic ionized calcium was studied in 20 acute ischemic stroke patients. Chronic antiplatelet treatment failed to suppress these PAF--induced platelet responses. We speculate that selective PAF antagonists may be useful in suppressing PAF--induced platelet activation, and thereby possibly improve the treatment of stroke.
