There is growing evidence that platelets play a key role in vascular atherothrombosis associated with endothelium and inflammation. Platelet activation leads to abnormalities in the surface glycoprotein expression of these cells, with subsequent aggregation and degranulation, which greatly contribute to thrombus formation. Corroborating these facts, the role played by antiplatelet agents in the treatment of atherosclerotic vascular disease is of note. In this context, a study by Ding et al. shows the association between hematological parameters, with emphasis on leukocyte […]
