Previous work has shown that P-selectin and mean platelet volume, two markers associated with platelet reactivity, are elevated in acute coronary syndromes. This study investigated the possibility that these markers may define unstable angina (UA) and acute myocardial infarction (MI) as two separate conditions based on platelet behaviour. Mean platelet volume (MPV) was higher in UA patients (n = 15) than in those diagnosed with MI (n = 15) (10.7 +/- 0.25 fL, vs. 9.8 +/- 0.27 n, P = 0.005). Platelet count was lower in UA than in MI (215 +/- 13 X 10(9)/L, vs. 271 +/- 20 x 10(9)/L, P = 0.03). The percentage of platelets ex pressing P-selectin was higher in MI than in UA (9.1 +/- 1.9% vs. 4.2 +/- 0.85%, P = 0.03). This parameter was positively correlated with MPV in UA (r = 0.5, P = 0,04) but negatively correlated in MI (r = -0.6. P = 0.01), with no correlation for ACS as a whole (r = -0.32. P = 0.1). Our results suggest that in MI there is an acute process of generalised platelet activation that is unrelated to changes in MPV, whereas in UA there is an ongoing process of platelet consumption that leads to an increase in platelet size to compensate for a persistent decrease in platelet count. This study suggests that there is a fundamental difference in platelet biology between these two diseases.
