[The clinical significance of platelet activation during exercise-induced myocardial ischemia].
The levels of alpha-granule membrane protein (GMP-140) on the surface of platelet and serum TXB2 were determined in 55 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and 20 healthy individuals before and after exercise test. Among the 55 CHD patients, 36 had positive and 19 had negative results. The number of GMP-140 molecules on the platelet surface and serum TXB2 level were significantly increased in the patients with positive exercise test, P < 0.05. The increase was transient and GMP-140 returned to the preexercise level 15 minutes after the exercise test. In contrast, GMP-140 and TXB2 levels were not elevated in CHD patients with negative exercise test and also in normal subjects after exercise. The result indicates that platelet activation may be related to the exercise-induced myocardial ischemia in CHD patients.
