A highly-standardized plate method was used to study fibrinolytic profiles in 14 patients with essential hypertension and 245 normotensive healthy control subjects. Compared with the normotensive group, the group with essential hypertension showed a defect in fibrinolysis, as evidenced by a significant increase in the mean level of inhibitor of plasminogen activation, and a subset of the hypertensive patients also showed a significant decrease in the mean level of vascular plasminogen activator. There were no significant differences between the two groups in relation to plasma fibrinogen level, total fibrinolytic activity and plasmin inhibitor. The alterations in inhibitor of plasminogen activation and vascular plasminogen activator in the patients with essential hypertension may reflect a defect in the fibrin-clearing mechanism and, perhaps, contribute to the vascular complications of hypertension.
