Abstract

This was a prospective study. The study was done from July 1997 to June 98. All the cases were selected from the outdoor patients of National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Controls were selected from healthy volunteers. The plasma fibrinogen level, platelet aggregation and platelet count were studied on a total number of 35 subjects with age ranged from 40-60 years of both sexes. Of these 20 were normal healthy subjects and 15 were patients with stable angina. Plasma fibrinogen level were normal as like as healthy subjects. Platelet aggreagations were increased in some cases but others show normal findings. The platelet count were slightly decreased but it was within normal range. Form this study it may be observed that normal plasma fibrinogen level and increased platelet aggregation with normal platelet count may occur in patients with stable angina. The increased platelet aggregation indicate hypercoagulable states which may aggravate the condition of patients with stable angina and this is the risk factor for the further development of severe ischemia of the heart. So, the routine investigation of plasma fibrinogen level, platelet aggregation and platelet count may be helpful to utilize them as background information both for therapeutic and preventive measures in patients with stable angina.
