May transiently elevate thrombotic risk during exercise; leaves open relevance in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Does acute aerobic exercise and elevated norepinephrine increase platelet reactivity and coagulation in healthy male volunteers?
Acute aerobic exercise increases platelet reactivity and coagulation, mediated by elevated norepinephrine, which may explain the association between exercise and transient thrombotic risk.
Ikarugi et al. (1999) studied this question.
