Venous thrombosis

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2015
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. VTE is the leading cause of lost disability-adjusted life years and the third leading cause of cardiovascular death in the world. DVT leads to post-thrombotic syndrome, whereas pulmonary embolism can cause chronic pulmonary hypertension, both of which reduce ...

THROMBOSIS AND ATHEROSCLEROSIS

British Medical Bulletin, 1978
From the clinical point of view the most important end results of atherosclerosis are stenosis and occlusion of the affected artery. A prerequisite for this is a degree of plaque growth sufficient to encroach significantly on the integrity of the vessel lumen.

Cytokines and Thrombosis

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1995
Cytokines are pleiotropic mediators of inflammation and immunity. Leukocytes and vascular cells are both sources of cytokines and targets for them. Several cytokines affect key functions of vascular wall cells. Several clinical acute or chronic inflammatory situations associate modifications of the cytokine network and a prothrombotic state.

Hypercoagulability And Thrombosis

Medical Clinics of North America, 1994
This article has stressed the common hereditary and acquired blood protein defects associated with thrombosis. The commonest hereditary defects appear to be antithrombin, protein C, and protein S deficiency, and the commonest acquired defects are anticardiolipin antibodies and the lupus anticoagulant.

Aging and Thrombosis

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2002
Advanced age is associated with a dramatic increase in the rates of venous and arterial thrombotic events. Increases in fibrinogen, factors VIII and IX, and other coagulation proteins, without a proportional increase in anticoagulant factors, likely contribute to this risk.

Thrombosis and cancer [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Reviews Clinical Oncology, 2012
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potentially life-threatening condition that can be associated with significant morbidity. Thrombosis and cancer are linked by numerous pathophysiological mechanisms; the frequency of VTE and the recurrence rate are increased in the cancer population in comparison with other patient groups. VTE is the second most common

Thrombosis

2019
Abstract Blood coagulation plays a role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic vascular disease. Acute myocardial infarction is generally associated with partial or complete thrombotic occlusion of one of the coronary arteries, whereas embolic stroke usually is associated with clot formation in the left atrium, left ventricle, or ...
