Abstract
Background-Coronary artery spasm induces activation of the coagulation system. Turnover and maintenance of thrombus depend not only on forma tion but also on lysis. The relation between coronary spasm and fibrin olytic system has not been elucidated. Objective-To examine whether th ere is impairment of or a circadian variation in fibrinolytic activity in patients with variant angina.
