Background-Experiments under controlled flow conditions indicate that the binding of von Willebrand factor (VWF) to platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib alpha and integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) (GP IIb/IIIa complex) is crucial for aggregation at elevated shear rates. We have tested how the plasma of patients with acute myocardial infarction affects this process.Methods and Results-Citrated plasma was obtained from 18 patients with acute myocardial infarction within 6 hours from the onset of symptoms and from 26 control subjects with chest pain syndrome without evidence of ischemia, Aggregation of normal platelets at high shear rates was significantly greater in the presence of patient than control plasma and was inhibited by both anti-GP Ib alpha and anti-alpha(IIb)beta(3) monoclonal antibodies. The observed values (mean+/-SD) were 47.6+/-17.8% versus 30.1+/-9.9% at 10 800 s(-1) (P
