Abstract
In a series of 38 patients, the coagulation activity of the blood after cardiac catheterization increased in 19 cases (50 per cent); decreased in 11 cases (29 per cent); and remained unchanged in 8 cases (21 per cent). Angiocardiography produced a rapid decrease in coagulation activity in 29 patients (77 per cent). The increase in coagulation activity after cardiac catheterization occurred more frequently in women than in men and was correlated to increased intravascular aggregation but not to other clinical or laboratory data.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
