These tests lack utility for post-MI assessment; leaves open whether refined platelet assays can stratify cardiovascular risk.
Does the rate of platelet aggregation correlate with glass adhesiveness, and do these tests differentiate normal subjects from patients with previous myocardial infarction?
Platelet aggregation rate and glass adhesiveness do not correlate closely and neither method distinguishes between normal subjects and patients with previous myocardial infarction.
Rozenberg et al. (1967) studied this question.
