    Abstract:
    The effect of nifedipine on the aggregation of blood platelets has been studied in patients with coronary heart disease. The study involved 78 males, aged between 36 and 64 years (mean age 51 years). The level of aggregation was evaluated before and after a single nifedipine dose of 10 mg (in 15 patients) and of 20 mg (in 34 patients) as well as before and after the treatment with nifedipine (of 29 patient) with a daily dose of 30 mg for two weeks. Aggregation of blood platelets induced by adenosine--diphosphate in of concentrations 1 microM/ml and of 5 microM/ml were estimated by the Born method. It was found that nifedipine reduces the aggregation of the blood platelets in patients with coronary heart disease following single and long-term treatment.
