Abstract
Blood platelet activation and aggregation play an important physiological role in the hemostasis and it is well established that many cardiovascular disorders are linked to an abnormal excessive activation of platelets. It is reported that patients with hypertension/coronary heart disease tend to have increased platelet reactivity.[1] Inhibition of platelet hyperactivation is therefore an important approach for treating cardiovascular disorders and studies indicate that phenolic compounds may protect against cardiovascular diseases by inhibiting platelet aggregation.
