title: Standard heparin and low molecular weight heparin effect on spontaneous platelet aggregation measured in whole blood and in platelet-rich plasma.
abstract: The evaluation of both standard heparin (SH) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (Fraxiparine) impact on spontaneous platelet aggregation assessed in the whole blood and in platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The results obtained reveal that SH enhance spontaneous aggregation in a similar degree both in the whole blood (34.5 +/- 3.0, control 21.3 +/- 4.1) and in PRP (33.5 +/- 2.7, control 13.8 +/- 3.2). LMWH significantly intensifies spontaneous aggregation in the whole blood (46.9 +/- 3.2, control 21.3 +/- 4.1) but not in PRP (19.4 +/- 4.3, control 13.8 +/- 3.2).
