“…We have recently reported on patients with rheumatic heart disease, in which clinical condition a low platelet count was coupled with an increased metabolic activity (15). The fall in platelet number in AM1 is probably linked to the findings of an increased in vivo platelet aggregation (6) and an increased number of large platelets (8,(16)(17)(18). Studies of both normal subjects and patients long after recovery from MI (19) have shown a negative relationship between the platelet number and the mean platelet volume, and it was recently suggested that the increase in platelet volume occurs before infarction (18).…”

Fagher B, Sjogren A, Sjogren U. .) Platelet counts in myocardial infarction, angina pectoris and peripheral artery disease. Acta Med Scand 1985; 217: 21-6.Serial determinations of peripheral venous platelet counts were performed in 43 consecutive patients with acute chest pain. On admission, patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) had a significantly lower mean platelet count (p<0.05) than patients without AMI, whereas hematocrit was higher (p<0.025). Thereafter a further reduction was seen with steadily reduced platelet counts by about 20%, both in comparison with healthy controls (p

The changes in blood platelet numbers, size, adhesiveness, and response to adenosine diphosphate have been followed for about a month after major operations performed on 19 patients.The well established increase in numbers was confirmed and reached a maximum of rather less than double the normal numbers in the third week. It was accompanied by a reduction of platelet size from 8·3μ3to 7·2μ3, and by an increased responsiveness shown in all the tests employed. These abnormalities were preceded by an initial change in the reverse direction from that obtaining at the peak of the response.In this series the bead method proved superior, as a means of delineating the postoperative platelet response, to the rotating bulb method in tests of timing, proportional changes, and of discrimination.
