Abstract:
In patients with complicated essential hypertension (ischemic stroke) and coronary heart disease, inductors of platelet aggregation in various doses induced "paradoxical" changes in platelet aggregation activity reflecting the degree of decompensation under conditions of persistent endothelial dysfunction. Aggregation inductors in low doses were shown to have a greater diagnostic significance. The content of endothelial dysfunction markers in the blood was persistently elevated under these conditions.

Formation of the Platelet Plug
As the injured blood vessel contracts, endothelial cells undergo contraction, revealing collagen fibers in the basement membrane and underlying connective tissue. Furthermore, the plasma membrane of endothelial cells becomes adhesive, preparing the site for platelet adhesion. Platelets...
