Extremely high concentrations of these platelet proteins were found in patients with venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, polycythemia vera, and chronic renal failure. Moderately increased beta-TG and PF4 levels were observed in patients with peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, multiple myeloma, and diabetes mellitus. These data indicate, that plasma concentrations of beta-TG and PF4 are useful parameters for the evaluation of the \"in vivo\" platelet activity.

The importantce of using not a single symptom but characteristic groups of symptoms for the radiological diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension is stressed. Radiological signs of increased pulmonary pressure do not directly correlate to the degree of direct measurements, false positive radiological reports need not be expected. Positive radiological symptoms indicate irreversible anatomical changes in pulmonary circulation. For the individual patient the pulmonary arterial pressure by cardiac catheterisation alone is not sufficient for the diagnosis and prognosis of this case as in obstructive air-way disturbance two definitely different types of diseases, namely type A (emphysema) and type B (bronchitis) with divergent hemodynamic consequences must be distinguished.
