Abstract
In 41 patients with coronary heart disease (clinically diagnosed as st able angina according to WHO), the concentration of adenine nucleotide s (ATP, ADP, AMP) in blood platelets was studied and compared to value s of healthy subjects. The level of adenine nucleotides in blood plate lets of the CHD patients was decreased (ATP: -28.1%; ADP: -36.3%). The se changes are probably caused by the activation of platelets and by t he release of stored adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP).
