• This study investigated von Willebrand factor (VWF)-mediated platelet adhesion at high shear rates in patients with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). The study included 84 patients with stable premature CAD and 64 patients without CAD. Whole blood samples were perfused through a microfluidic cell over a collagen-coated surface at a shear rate of 1300 s . Measurements were performed before and after the inhibition of VWF-specific platelet GPIb receptors with an anti-GPIb monoclonal antibody (mAb). Platelet adhesion decreased by 77.0% (55.9; 84.7) in patients with premature CAD and by 29.6% (0.0; 59.7) in control patients after the inhibition of VWF-platelet interaction with anti-GPIb mAb ( < 0.001). After adjusting for traditional risk factors, the odds ratio for premature CAD per 1% decrease in GPIb-mediated platelet adhesion was 1.03 (95% CI, 1.02-1.05; < 0.001). The optimal cut-off level value of GPIb-mediated platelet adhesion was 62.8%, with 70.2% sensitivity and 81.2% specificity for CAD. The plasma levels of VWF or antiplatelet therapy did not affect the GPIb-mediated component of platelet adhesion. Thus, the GPIb-mediated component of platelet adhesion was more pronounced in patients with premature CAD. This may indicate the possible role of excessive VWF-platelet interactions in the development of premature CAD.
