Studies of platelets from individuals who have experienced a thrombotic event have not yet conclusively demonstrated an active role for platelets in thrombosis. Platelet hyperactivity after myocardial infarction may relate to poor prognosis but further studies are required. Arachidonate metabolism may differ in platelets from different individuals and studies in vascular disease are warranted.
