“…High plasma cholesterol, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, may also in¯uence platelet reactivity and the thrombotic phenomena, and hence in¯uence the progression of the atheromatosus plaque and its complications. De Cree  et al [31] demonstrated that platelets from hypercholesterolemic patients or patients affected of coronary disease had more sensitivity to 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) in in vitro aggregation studies. In an experimental model of homozygous hypercholesterolemia in rabbits we had previously shown that platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on the vessel wall was increased, indicating a prothrombotic risk [32].…”

“…Serotonin (5-HT) is one of a variety of humoral factors capable of activating blood platelets [1,2] and may play a role in various cardiovascular diseases, including certain ischemic cardiac syndromes [3,4]. Recent evidence suggests that platelet aggregation and the resultant release of serotonin at sites of coronary stenosis may be important mechanistic components of unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction [5].…”

“…The 5-HT 2 antagonist ketanserin is one of the drugs shown to be capable of inhibiting induced platelet aggregation in patients with cardiovascular diseases [3,4], as well as abolishing cyclic flow reductions in the abovementioned canine model [6][7][8].…”
