Abstract
In a search for a possible hypercoagulable state in myocardial infarction, platelet adhesiveness, plasma fibrinogen and euglobulin lysis time were estimated in 48 cases of acute myocardial infarction and in 15 age-matched normals. An increase in platelet adhesiveness (P < 0.05), plasma fibrinogen (P < 0.01) and fibrinolytic activity (P < 0.001) was noted in the patients when compared with normals. There are no obvious disturbances in the dynamic equilibrium normally existing between coagulation and fibronolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
