title: [Platelet aggregation in normal and hypertensive subjects during cold pressor test].
abstract: The Authors have studied, in 5 normal subjects and in 10 with essential arterial hypertension, the behaviour of platelet aggregation before, during and after cold pressor test. It has been possible to evidence, in hypertensive subjects, a greater responsiveness of platelets to adrenaline induced aggregation. The Authors think that such effects may be due to hyperexcitability of sympathetic nervous system, which can regulate the functional behaviour of platelets in response to cold pressor test.
