Title: [Neurotic triad and change in blood platelet number in reaction to stress]. Author: Van Imschoot K, Liesse M, Mertens C, Lauwers P. Journal: Encephale; 1982; 8(4):501-10. PubMed ID: 7151739. Abstract: Blood platelet count is evaluated three times in reaction to catheterization stress in a group of 21 myocardial infarction patients and a group of 21 non-coronary subjects. Coronary and non-coronary patients are divided in two groups according to their low or high results at the psychological scales (hypochondria, depression, hysteria of the M.M.P.I.). The group of non-coronary patients with low results in hypochondria, depression and in the sum of the three psychological scales presents a lower platelet count than the other groups. The non-coronary subjects with high psychological results have the same platelet count as the coronary patients with high or low values.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
