May link lipid metabolism to platelet aggregates in acute MI; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Is there a relationship between platelet function and plasma free fatty acid concentration during acute myocardial infarction and severe angina pectoris?
This study suggests a potential link between altered lipid metabolism (plasma free fatty acids) and increased platelet aggregation during the acute phase of myocardial infarction and severe angina.
Knut Gjesdal (1976) studied this question.
