Utilidad de la citometría de flujo para valorar el efecto de la atorvastatina sobre la función plaquetaria y la movilización del Ca2+ en pacientes hiperlipémicos

As a conclusion it is noted that the flow cytometry of whole blood is a useful technique for evaluating aspects such as those raised in this study. Hypercholesterolemia patients showed more spontaneous platelet activation, which was accompanied by the formation of platelet microaggregates and changes in the cytoplasmic free calcium mobilization, which were normalised by treatment with atorvastatin, which has not been previously reported in the literature.
