Key result
Regular physical training links to favorable platelet profiles in CAD despite acute exercise-induced activation.
Why the study?
The effects of exercise and physical training on platelet aggregation and function in healthy individuals and coronary heart disease patients remain unclear and conflicting due to methodological issues.
Does exercise and physical training improve platelet aggregation and function in healthy individuals and patients with coronary artery disease?
Does exercise and physical training improve platelet aggregation and function in healthy individuals and patients with coronary artery disease?
While acute exercise may increase platelet aggregation in patients with coronary heart disease, regular physical training appears to have favorable, protective effects on platelet function.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Acute exercise warrants caution in CHD; leaves open whether training benefits justify targeted platelet trials.
Mahmoud Elsayed (2002) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Exercise and physical training was evaluated on Platelet aggregation and activation. Exercise increases platelet aggregation and function in patients with coronary heart disease, while regular physical training is associated with favorable effects on platelets in both men and women.
