Implication

Admission platelet adhesiveness should not guide prognosis in acute chest pain; leaves open its role in MI pathophysiology.

Structured PICO

Does platelet adhesiveness correlate with the clinical course and outcomes in patients admitted with acute central chest pain?

P
Population
86 randomly selected patients admitted to a coronary care unit because of acute central chest pain
C
Comparator
Patients without typical infarction (group 2) and controls (group 3)
O
Outcome
ADP-induced and whole blood platelet adhesivenesssurrogate

Platelet adhesiveness is transiently elevated during acute myocardial infarction but does not correlate with infarct size or mortality.
