Key result
Platelets from patients with stable angina pectoris exhibited impaired responsiveness to PGE1, with significantly lower maximal cyclicAMP increases compared to normal subjects (220% vs 330%, p<0.01).
Why the study?
Is the antiaggregating and cyclicAMP-elevating effect of PGE1 impaired in platelets from patients with stable angina pectoris compared to normal subjects?
Population
Platelets obtained from normal subjects and patients with stable angina pectoris
Comparison
Prostaglandin E1 added to platelet-rich plasma… vs Platelets from normal subjects
Design

Impaired PGE1 responsiveness may link to platelet hyperaggregability in stable angina; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before clinical consideration.
Case-Control
Is the antiaggregating and cyclicAMP-elevating effect of PGE1 impaired in platelets from patients with stable angina pectoris compared to normal subjects?
Absolute Event Rate: 220% vs 330%

Patients with stable angina pectoris exhibit impaired platelet responsiveness to the antiaggregating and cyclicAMP-elevating effects of PGE1, which may contribute to platelet hyperaggregability in cardiovascular diseases.
Chirkov et al. (1995) conducted a case-control in Stable angina pectoris. Stable angina pectoris vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on Maximal increases in intraplatelet cyclicAMP with PGE1 10(-4) M (%) (p=<0.01). Platelets from patients with stable angina pectoris exhibited impaired responsiveness to PGE1, with significantly lower maximal cyclicAMP increases compared to normal subjects (220% vs 330%, p<0.01).
