Key result
Platelet factor 4 and beta thromboglobulin release during exercise showed a lack of relationship to myocardial ischemia.

Does platelet release occur during exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and relate to catecholamine release in males with coronary artery disease?

No association between platelet activation markers and exercise-induced ischemia in CAD; leaves open their pathophysiologic role.

Does platelet release occur during exercise-induced myocardial ischemia and relate to catecholamine release in males with coronary artery disease?
The study suggests that platelet activation markers (PF4 and BTG) released during exercise do not have a relationship with exercise-induced myocardial ischemia.
Stratton et al. (1982) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=35). Maximal, symptom-limited treadmill exercise test vs. Normal males was evaluated on Platelet factor 4 (PF4) and beta thromboglobulin (BTG) release. Platelet factor 4 and beta thromboglobulin release during exercise showed a lack of relationship to myocardial ischemia.
