Abstract
Five out of twenty patients with vasotonic angina had frequent spontaneous attacks with dramatic ST-segment alterations. These attacks were consistently associated with an increase in platelet aggregates in coronary-sinus blood but not arterial blood. This increase in platelet aggregates during coronary-artery spasm suggests a potential causal role for the platelet in this subset of patients with ischaemic heart-disease. However, the increase in platelet aggregates could be secondary to reduced coronary blood-flow.Entities:
