Abstract

We investigated the effects of intense magnetic fields on the blood platelet aggregation process with and without static magnetic fields of up to 14 T. A rabbit plasma and collagen mixture was used as the model system for a wounded blood vessel. Platelet aggregation was activated by the stimulation of acid soluble collagen. The platelet aggregates in strong magnetic fields were larger than the aggregates in an ambient field. An optical transmission of blood plasma during platelet aggregation also indicated that strong magnetic fields enhanced blood platelet aggregation in plasma.
