Abstract
This subject will be presented in relation to the study of platelets and vascular disease. Platelets are involved not only in thrombosis but also in atherosclerosis, which is a key factor in the development of arterial thrombosis. The study of arterial disease and thrombosis in living subjects has been difficult.
