Several indices of plasma and platelet coagulability (HTCT ) may also influence the test. No positive correlation between HTCT and AT III could be observed. The elevated levels of AT III in acute myocardial infarction did not confirm AT III consumption due to chronic intravascular coagulation in these patients. The Wu-Hoak test increased only in patients with acute coronary disease. HTCT is a valid test for diagnosis of hypercoagulability.
