title: [Von Willebrand factor and soluble P-selectin in patients with non ST-Elevation acute coronary syndrome during treatment with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist eptifibatide].
abstract: Soluble P-selectin (marker of activation of platelets) and von Willebrand factor (marker of activation of endothelium) were measured in 44 patients with non ST-Elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) 21 of whom received glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist eptifibatide (two 180 mg/kg boluses with 10 min interval followed by infusion of 2 mcg/kg/min during first 24 hours and 1.3 mcg/kg/min during subsequent 48 hours). Measurements were made within first 2 hours, in 2--3 and 10--14 days after development of NSTEACS. During first 2 hours P-selectin content was 1.6 times higher than in healthy donors, but in 2--3 and 10--14 days after onset of NSTEACS it did not differ from normal values. Contrary to P-selectin value of von Willebrand factor was elevated both during first 2 hours (1.3 times) and in 2--3 days (2 times) compared with healthy donors. Some elevation of von Willebrand factor (1.2 times) persisted after 10--14 days after development of NSTEACS. The results obtained have shownd that elevated activity of endothelium persists at least for 2--3 days after onset of NSTEACS, while activity of platelets during this period decreases. In none of temporal points there have been revealed differences in contents of P-selectin and von Willebrand factor between groups of patients receiving and not receiving glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists. No differences were also found between these parameters in groups of patients favorable and unfavorable outcomes (myocardial infarction, angina recurrence) of the disease during 30 days of follow-up.
