Platelet-dependent thrombin generation was assessed during both unstable and stable periods in 59 patients with unstable angina and at rest in 31 healthy controls. Thrombin generation during the unstable period was significantly greater than that at rest in the healthy control group (p < 0.0001) and that during the stable period (p < 0.0001). Changes in thrombin gener ation were related to the time after onset of unstable angina, not to degree of improvement in the severity of coronary stenosis.
