Changes in Hemostatic Function at Times of Cyclic Variation in Occupational Stress

In this study we demonstrated, in the same healthy subjects, a significant elevation in coagulation factors VII and VIII, fibrinogen, thrombocyte count, and thrombin and adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation during a period of increased workload compared with a calm work period. These f...

Description
Summary:In this study we demonstrated, in the same healthy subjects, a significant elevation in coagulation factors VII and VIII, fibrinogen, thrombocyte count, and thrombin and adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet aggregation during a period of increased workload compared with a calm work period. These findings may add to the understanding of the mechanism that links mental stress to coronary disease.
