Abstract Background Coated-platelets are procoagulant platelets observed upon dual agonist stimulation with collagen and thrombin. Coated-platelet levels are elevated in non-lacunar ischemic stroke compared to either lacunar stroke or controls. In contrast, coated-platelet levels are decreased in sp...
