This study was designed to assess whether platelet Ca2+ handling or membrane microviscosity could be considered as indexes of vascular tone, or could help to predict an increased risk of restenosis after coronary angioplasty. Vascular tone was quantified in 21 patients with stable angina by the vasodilator response to sin-1 intracoronary injection in the reference coronary segment and by the importance of the acute recoil after angioplasty in the narrowed segment. The degree of restenosis was quantified by coronary angiography 6 months later. Individual values of relative sin-1-induced changes in the reference coronary diameter were positively correlated with cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in unstimulated platelets, irrespective of the extracellular Ca2+ concentration (p < 0.01). This relationship was also observed with the thrombin-evoked Ca2+ changes, measured in the absence of a Ca2+ influx (p = 0.01). No relationship was found between sin-1-induced coronary changes and membrane microviscosity evaluated by TMA-DPH and DPH anisotropies or platelet volume, or between degree of acute recoil and platelet characteristics. In conclusion, platelet Ca2+ reflects the vasodilating efficacy in response to sin-1, but cannot help to predict restenosis after coronary angioplasty.

D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
