Long-term effects of hemostatic variables on fatal coronary heart disease: 30-year results from the first prospective Northwick Park Heart Study (NPHS-I) [PDF]
Background: The long-term associations of established risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD), for example cholesterol, are well known, but not for the less familiar hemostatic variables.
