Abstract | ||
Abnormal platelet function has been hypothesized to play a role in the haemostatic abnormalities in cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) patients. Blood platelets in patients with CCHD were occasionally characterized by significantly enhanced expression of P-selectin in resting circulating platelets as well as their augmented activation in response to stimulating agents. | ||
