Beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 levels in post-myocardial infarction patients with major depression.
Platelet factor 4 (PF 4) and beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) were studied in 12 depressed post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients and 12 matched non-depressed post-MI patients. PF4 was significantly higher in the depressed group than in the non-depressed group. beta-TG was increased in the depressed subgroup, but the difference was not statistically significant.
