In the AS group at maximum workload PPG rose to 75.3±26.1 mmHg, MPG to 45.3±15.9 mmHg and EF to 73±6.5% \(all p<0.05\). There was no intergroup difference in post exercise increase in EF.There was no differences in baselins levels of Cmax, F1\+2 and TFPI between the two groups. Cmax during peak workload in AS group increased by 25% \(p<0.001\) and was higher than in controls \(p<0.001\). Interestingly, Cmax in AS patients reached its peak 24 hours after exercise, while it followed a different pattern in controls, i.e. it decreased reaching its nadir 24 hours post exercise \(p<0.001\).Baseline plasma sCD40L was similar in both groups without any exercise\-related changes.Baseline CLT was 13% longer among AS patients \(p=0.006\) compared with controls. CLT remained unaltered at peak exercise in AS group and it decreased in controls \(intergroup difference of 28%, p<0.001\). One hour after exercise test CLT decreased in AS patients to the level similar to the control group, and then increased 24 hours later, being 15% higher than in controls \(p<0.001\). Exercise showed no effect on D\-dimer in either group., TAFI antigen remained unaltered during stress test in the AS group. Interestingly, in all four time points, TAFI acti"]
