A test system has been devised to study the influence of reduced blood flow on platelet adhesiveness in arterial and venous blood in man. It has been found that 8 min of reduced flow causes a 50% increase in arterial blood platelet adhesiveness in control subjects. This contrasted sharply with the absence of increased platelet adhesiveness in subjects who had suffered myocardial infarction. Anticoagulation therapy did not appear to influence the results. © 1971.
