Role of Prostacyclin and Thromboxane A2 in Ischaemic Heart Disease

  • Chapter
Thrombosis and Cardiovascular Disease

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 164))

Abstract

Many investigations have shown that cardiac tissue is able to produce prostaglandins (PGs) of D, E, F series and over all prostacyclin (1–3) both in animals and in humans. Much evidence indicates that the primary site of PGs synthesis is the coronary vasculature and not the cardiac myocytes (3,4).
