Relationship between circulating microparticles and hypertension and other cardiac disease biomarkers in the elderly.

Our present findings might help to understand the hemostasis via TGT parameters, in the elderly.

MPs might be accepted as vascular inflammation and damage markers and used as follow up tools of medical treatment of vascular inflammation-related diseases.
