[Characteristics of disorders of thrombocytic hemostasis in patients with recurrent myocardial infarction].

The levels of thromboxane B2, prostaglandin 6-keto F1 alpha (PG F1 alpha), thrombocytic factor IV (TF IV), and beta-thromboglobulin (beta-TG) were measured in 66 patients with postinfarction cardiosclerosis concurrent with acute recurrent myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris. There was a substantial increase in thromboxane B2 activity and a less significant elevation of PG F1 alpha, as well as a rise of TF IV and beta-TG. Circulatory insufficiency, cardiac aneurysm, intracardiac thrombi were accompanied by much more severe abnormalities in the above-mentioned parameters.
