Hyperlipidemia is associated with platelet hyperactivity. In the present study, we evaluated the binding of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) on the surface of circulating platelets in patients with stable coronary artery disease and acute coronary syndromes and its possible association with platelet activation. Furthermore, the role of oxLDL binding on platelet adhesion to collagen and endothelial cells in vitro as well as after carotid ligation in mice was investigated.
