Atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and primary hemostasis: Impact of platelets, von Willebrand factor and soluble glycoprotein VI
Little is known about peril constellations in primary hemostasis contributing to an acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with already manifest atherosclerosis. The study aimed to establish a predicting model based on six biomarkers of primary hemostasis: platelet count, mean platelet volume, hematocrit, soluble glycoprotein VI, fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor ratio.
