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?

Overview

Impaired PGE1 responsiveness may link to platelet hyperaggregability in stable angina; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before clinical consideration.

Key Points

  • To examine whether impaired antiaggregating effects and intraplatelet cyclic AMP stimulation by prostaglandin E1 contribute to platelet hyperaggregability in stable angina pectoris.
  • Measured ADP-induced aggregation and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1)-mediated reversal of incipient aggregation in platelet-rich plasma from normal subjects and patients with stable angina pectoris.
  • Quantified concentration-dependent intraplatelet cyclic AMP accumulation following exposure to PGE1.
  • The PGE1 concentration required for 50% reversal of aggregation (C50) was significantly higher in patients with stable angina (6.3 ± 1.6 × 10⁻⁷ M) than in normal controls (2.4 ± 0.3 × 10⁻⁸ M, p < 0.01).
  • Maximal intraplatelet cyclic AMP generation stimulated by 10⁻⁴ M PGE1 was significantly suppressed in angina patients (220 ± 20%) relative to normal subjects (330 ± 10%, p < 0.01).

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 220% vs 330%

p-value: p=<0.01

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.

Cite This Study

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).
