Eligibility:

All Genders

18-85 years

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether shear-induced platelet aggregation is able to discriminate first acute coronary syndrome (ACS) from recurrent ACS

Detailed Description

Predictive factors of recurrence of ACS are not well determined. Platelet aggregation and leucocyte activation seem to be involved in the pathogenesis. The aim of our study is to compare SIPA, platele...
