Increased Platelet Glycoprotein V Levels in Patients with Coronary and Peripheral Atherosclerosis The Influence of Aspirin and Cigarette Smoking
2001
As platelet hyperactivity is important in atherosclerosis and smoking, we hypothesized higher levels of soluble platelet membrane glycoprotein V (gpV) in 95 patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and 92 with coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to 99 healthy controls, and examined the effects of aspirin and of smoking two cigarettes on soluble gpV and platelet function. Soluble gpV (ELISA) was significantly raised in, but not between, both PAD and CAD patients, compared to controls (p
