Abstract

Aim. To study the effects of tirofiban, a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blocker, on platelet (PL) phospholipids (PhL) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Material and methods. The study included 55 ACS patients without ST segment elevation (↓ST), receiving standard therapy; 26 participants were administered tirofiban. The control group included 23 healthy volunteers, with­out any cardiovascular disease. In all participants, PL PhL characteristics were assessed at baseline, at Day 3 and Days 7-10.

Results. In ACS patients, both qualitative and quantitative changes in PL PhL metabolism were observed, which could result in disturbed PL hemostasis. The main manifestation of these disturbances was increased lysophosphatidyl choline (LFS) level in PL membranes. Disturbed PL PhL metabolism was observed in all ACS patients, being maximally manifested at baseline.

Conclusion. Tirofiban therapy, as a part of standard ACS↓ST treatment, improved PhL composition of PL membranes and beneficially affected PL hemostasis.
