【Objective】 To study the effects of levamlodipine on the platelet aggregation and expression of MMP-9/MMP-2 in the patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. 【Methods】 32 patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension were recruited. Platelet aggregation (platelet aggregation maximal
PAGM) was determined by the blood coagulation instrument TYXN-91A. The concentrations of MMP-9
MMP-2 in platelet were measured by ELISA. 【Results】 PAGM of patients with T2DM and hypertension were reduced after using levamlodipine (before (47.77 ± 11.92)% vs after (40.78 ± 13.97)%
P < 0.05)
platelet inhibition rate was (13.50 ± 25.23)%
while there was no statistically differences that MMP-9
MMP-2 releasing after using levamlodipine. 【Conclusion】 Levamlodipine can inhibit platelet aggregation in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Levamlodipine has no effect on expression of MMP-9 and MMP-2.
