[The compartmentalization of membrane-bound thrombocyte calcium in arterial hypertension].

High contents of Ca2+ was revealed in thrombocytes' intracellular compartments in patients with essential hypertension. In response to different stimuli, large amount of Ca2+ can be released in the platelets of the patients which makes a considerable contribution to generation of the Ca2+ signal and activation of thrombocytes in cardiovascular diseases.

[The membrane-bound calcium of the thrombocytes in essential hypertension].

The investigation was aimed at analyzing membrane-bound calcium in platelets of patients with essential hypertension (EH) and of healthy persons. 55 men were examined. Of these, 38 presented with EH and 17 were healthy.
