Abstract
The role of coronary spasm in variant angina is well established. We h ave studied the time course of platelet activation during Ergonivine p rovocation 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 i ncreased during provocation and that platelet activation during a posi tive Ergonivine test precede ECG changes and chest pain.
