Study of ADAMTS-13 Activity, Von Willebrand Factor and Platelet-Monocyte Aggregation in Coronary Artery Disease
- Conditions
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Interventions
- Other: Blood draws
- Registration Number
- NCT00905294
- Lead Sponsor
- University College Cork
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between proteins and enzymes in the blood and how they work with platelets to form blood clots in patients with coronary artery disease. The investigators hypothesize that the relationship between these factors could potentially be useful in identifying patients at higher risk for heart attacks.
