Abstract

To the Editor: The report by Hirsh et al. in the March 19 issue,¹ in which increased levels of coronary-sinus thromboxane B₂ were demonstrated in patients with recent episodes of angina, supports previous experimental data showing increased thromboxane B₂ levels in coronary-sinus blood of patients with exercise-induced angina² and of patients with fixed obstructive coronary-artery disease in whom angina was induced by rapid atrial pacing.³ It is of broader potential importance that levels of thromboxane B₂ in peripheral blood have been shown by several investigators to rise acutely during chest pain in patients known to have coronary-artery. . .
