Abstract

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is one of the most frequent causes of death, and its mechanisms are not completely understood. The role of platelets in the thromboembolic pathogenesis has often been pointed out, and particularly their interaction with the vascular endothelium when it is damaged by atheroma. Consequently platelet hyperactivity has been proposed in vivo and in vitro [5, 7, 14, 21]. Nevertheless, other risk factors may be involved, such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular diseases [6, 12].
