May trigger hypercoagulable state in atherosclerosis; hypothesis-generating for sympathetic effects on hemostasis.
Does infusion of alpha- and beta-sympathomimetic agents affect hemostasis in vivo in humans?
Short-term sympathetic activation via adrenergic infusions stimulates coagulation and fibrinolysis, potentially triggering a hypercoagulable state in patients with atherosclerosis.
Känel et al. (2000) studied this question.
