Mechanical Forces Impacting Cleavage of Von Willebrand Factor in Laminar and Turbulent Blood Flow
Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large multimeric hemostatic protein. VWF is critical in arresting platelets in regions of high shear stress found in blood circulation. Excessive cleavage of VWF that leads to reduced VWF multimer size in plasma can cause

Increased plasma von Willebrand factor antigen levels but normal von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity in preeclampsia. [PDF]
The activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease is low in several conditions, including HELLP (haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count) syndrome.

100 BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS IN 10 MONTHS DUE TO HEYDE SYNDROME
Heyde syndrome is a multisystem disorder characterized by an association between gastrointestinal bleeding and aortic stenosis. High shear stress on stenotic valves leads to acquired coagulopathy due to proteolysis of von Willebrand factor and thus leads
