Abstract

Whether the thrombotic component of myocardial infarction is primary or secondary in a given patient, platelet function alterations can influence many mechanisms — operating at the microenvi-ronmental level — from which it depends if the thrombotic lesion grows or sends platelet emboli to the smaller myocardial vessels.
