von Willebrand's disease [PDF]
The common inheritable hemorrhagic disorder, von Willebrand's disease, has been known for only about 50 yr. During these years it has been well established that the cause of the disease is a deficiency of a plasma protein with remarkable biological properties. Future research should focus on details of the molecular structure of this protein.

Treatment of Von Willebrand Disease [PDF]
SummaryIn von Willebrand disease, there are two main options for the treatment of spontaneous bleeding episodes and for bleeding prophylaxis: desmopressin and transfusional therapy with plasma products. Desmopressin is the treatment of choice for most patients with type 1, who account for approximately 70 to 80 per cent of all cases with the disease ...

von Willebrand disease is a common inherited bleeding disorder characterized by excessive mucocutaneous bleeding. Characteristic bleeding symptoms include epistaxis, easy bruising, oral cavity bleeding, menorrhagia, bleeding after dental extraction, surgery, and/or childbirth, and in severe cases, bleeding into joints and soft tissues.

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

Prognostic value of von Willebrand factor in clinical practice
The von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a multimeric plasma glycoprotein, which quantification has important prognostic value. The current literature review demonstrates a relationship between the disease severity and vWF level.

Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is a blood clotting disorder characterized by low levels of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) in the blood. VWF is functions to bind platelets and promote clotting of the blood when vascular injury occurs.

Acquired von Willebrand Syndrome Associated with Cardiovascular Diseases
The blood glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays an important role in hemostasis and thrombosis. VWF is produced and secreted as large multimers by endothelial cells and megakaryocytes.

Levels of von Willebrand factor antigen and von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (ADAMTS13) activity predict clinical events in chronic heart failure. [PDF]
Decreased activity of ADAMTS13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF) cleaving protease, was recently reported in cardiovascular diseases and in hepatic failure.
