Changes in hemostatic function at times of cyclic variation in occupational stress.
In this study we demonstrated, in the same healthy subjects, a significant elevation in coagulation factors VII and VIII, fibrinogen, thrombocyte count, and thrombin and adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation during a period of increased workload compared with a calm work period. These findings may add to the understanding of the mechanism that links mental stress to coronary disease.
