Undiscovered role of endogenous thromboxane A2 in activation of cardiac sympathetic afferents during ischaemia

Myocardial ischaemia activates blood platelets, which in turn stimulate cardiac sympathetic afferents, leading to chest pain and sympathoexcitatory reflex cardiovascular responses. Previous studies have shown that activated platelets stimulate ischaemically sensitive cardiac sympathetic afferents, a...
