Should not yet guide thrombolysis decisions in AMI; leaves open predictive value pending prospective validation.
Do baseline levels of platelet P-selectin and PECAM-1 predict unsuccessful thrombolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Elevated baseline expression of platelet P-selectin and PECAM-1 may serve as predictors for delayed and unsuccessful coronary thrombolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Gurbel et al. (1998) studied this question.
