Abstract:
Studied subjects was included 2 groups: case group of 30 elderly persons with hypertension and control group of 30 without. Thrombocyte agglutination showed as positive proportion with the age. In vitro hypertension in the elderly had enhanced the function of thrombocyte agglutination (to enhance the function and the activity of thrombocytes). Thrombocyte agglutination level was higher significantly in high blood presure patients versus control subjects. This level had trended to enhance with the duration of hypertension disease and it had got the closed relation with the number of target organs which acquired the damage.
