Background: Temperature variation within human atheromatous plaques, a finding which supports inflammatory cell-mediated thermogenesis, predicts clinical events among patients with coronary artery disease.
Purpose: Our study was designed to investigate the effect of ambient temperature in vitro on platelet-leukocyte interactions, monocyte tissue factor expression and platelet-dependent thrombin generation.
Methods/results: Whole blood samples obtained from healthy volunteers were incubated at 37 degrees, 38 degrees and 39 degrees C for three hours.
