Pre\-exercise CLT, but not other fibrinolytic variables, correlated with TM in the AS group \(r=0.55, p=0.001\).There were no differences in tPA antigen between the AS and control groups.There were no intergroups differences and post\-exercise changes in troponin levels in both.The current study shows that during exercise moderate\-to\-severe AS patients display a specific pattern of prothrombotic changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis markers, quite different from that observed in age\- and sex\-matched controls. Patients with AS respondto physical activity with a marked increase in maximum concentration of thrombin generated and a decrease in fibrinolytic capacity. The present data suggest that exercise\-induced prothrombotic alterations in AS patients may promote fibrin deposition on aortic valve leaflets, leading to the progression of this disease. It might be speculated that intense exercise could contribute to faster progression of valvular lesions and higher risk of cardiovascular events. Our observations apply to patients with moderate\-to\-severe AS, and canno"]
