The role of coronary spasm in variant angina is well established. We have studied the time course of platelet activation during Ergonivine provocation to determine one significance of platelet indices for spasm testing. The results showed that spontaneous platelet aggregates and beta-thromboglobulin levels in patients with coronary vasospasm were increased during provocation and that platelet activation during a positive Ergonivine test precede ECG changes and chest pain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D003080 Cold Temperature An absence of warmth or heat or a temperature notably below an accustomed norm. Cold,Cold Temperatures,Temperature, Cold,Temperatures, Cold
D003329 Coronary Vasospasm Spasm of the large- or medium-sized coronary arteries. Coronary Artery Spasm,Coronary Artery Vasospasm,Artery Spasm, Coronary,Artery Vasospasm, Coronary,Coronary Artery Spasms,Coronary Artery Vasospasms,Coronary Vasospasms,Spasm, Coronary Artery,Vasospasm, Coronary,Vasospasm, Coronary Artery
D004874 Ergonovine An ergot alkaloid (ERGOT ALKALOIDS) with uterine and VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE contractile properties. Ergometrine,Ergonovine Maleate,Ergobasin,Ergometrin,Ergometrine Maleate,Ergotrate

D000244 Adenosine Diphosphate Adenosine 5'-(trihydrogen diphosphate). An adenine nucleotide containing two phosphate groups esterified to the sugar moiety at the 5'-position. ADP,Adenosine Pyrophosphate,Magnesium ADP,MgADP,Adenosine 5'-Pyrophosphate,5'-Pyrophosphate, Adenosine,ADP, Magnesium,Adenosine 5' Pyrophosphate,Diphosphate, Adenosine,Pyrophosphate, Adenosine
D000787 Angina Pectoris The symptom of paroxysmal pain consequent to MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA usually of distinctive character, location and radiation. It is thought to be provoked by a transient stressful situation during which the oxygen requirements of the MYOCARDIUM exceed that supplied by the CORONARY CIRCULATION. Angor Pectoris,Stenocardia,Stenocardias
D001620 beta-Thromboglobulin A platelet-specific protein which is released when platelets aggregate. Elevated plasma levels have been reported after deep venous thrombosis, pre-eclampsia, myocardial infarction with mural thrombosis, and myeloproliferative disorders. Measurement of beta-thromboglobulin in biological fluids by radioimmunoassay is used for the diagnosis and assessment of progress of thromboembolic disorders. beta-2 Thromboglobulin,Thromboglobulin, beta-2,beta 2 Thromboglobulin,beta Thromboglobulin
D015539 Platelet Activation A series of progressive, overlapping events, triggered by exposure of the PLATELETS to subendothelial tissue. These events include shape change, adhesiveness, aggregation, and release reactions. When carried through to completion, these events lead to the formation of a stable hemostatic plug. Activation, Platelet,Activations, Platelet,Platelet Activations
