Intravascular Platelet Aggregation

Stress and the induction of intravascular platelet aggregation in the heart.

SUMMARY Intravascular aggregation of platelets similar to that found in dogs after norepinephrine infusion was demonstrated using the electron microscope in the hearts of 20 of 23 rats subjected to two forms of stress (immersion in hot water, 7 of 8 rats; repeated small electric shocks to the feet, 13 of 15 rats). Only one of 14 unstressed rats was found to have similar intravascular platelet a...

Effect of the Garlic Pill in comparison with Plavix on Platelet Aggregation and Bleeding Time

Abstract Introduction Platelet aggregation plays a significant role in the etiology of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, treatments to inhibit platelet aggregation can reduce the risk of coronary thrombosis. Several studies indicated that garlic can inhibit platelet aggregation. This study aimed to determine the effect of garlic in comparison with Plavix on platelet aggregation. Materials ...

Impairment in Platelet Aggregation in Congenital

Platelet function and coagulation studies were performed on 65 children with congenital heart disease (CHD) and five wtih acquired heart disease, varying in age from 2 wk to 17 yr. Approximately l10/a of the children with CHD had mild bleeding symptoms, and 9#{176}/a had prolonged bleeding times, despite normal platelet counts. In 14 of 37 children (37.8#{176}/a)with cyanotic CHD and four of 28...

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: report of a case with disseminated intravascular platelet aggregation.

Evaluation of anti-platelet aggregation effect of some Allium species

Epidemiologic studies show that the cardiovascular diseases are associated with multiple factors such as raised serum total cholesterol, increased LDL, increased platelet aggregation, hypertension and smoking. In-vitro studies have confirmed the ability of some plants of Allium species to reduce these parameters. Therefore, we evaluated anti-platelet aggregation effect of some Allium species (A...
