Transient platelet TXA2/PGH2 receptor upregulation in AMI may heighten aggregability; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before therapeutic targeting.
Platelet TXA2/PGH2 receptor density is transiently increased during acute myocardial infarction and correlates with the duration of chest pain and in vitro platelet aggregability.
Dorn et al. (1990) studied this question.
