Key result
Erythrocyte electrophoretic migration time is highly correlated with platelet adhesiveness and is more closely associated with coronary artery disease than platelet adhesiveness.
Electrophoretic migration time of erythrocytes may be a more relevant marker for coronary artery disease than platelet adhesiveness.
Hypothesis-generating for erythrocyte electrophoretic migration time as CAD marker; prospective validation needed before any clinical consideration.
This study shows a highly significant correlation between the electrophoretic migration time of erythrocytes and platelet adhesiveness in coronary artery disease. Estimations of the electrophoretic migration time appear to be much more closely related to this disease than do those of platelet adhesiveness.

Davies et al. (1967) studied this question. Erythrocyte electrophoretic migration time is highly correlated with platelet adhesiveness and is more closely associated with coronary artery disease than platelet adhesiveness.
