Activation of blood coagulation in patients with mitral stenosis and sinus rhythm

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess whether there is blood coagulation activation in patients with mitral stenosis (MS) and sinus rhythm (SR) and to investigate the value of left atrial spontaneous echo contrast (LASEC) as a predictive sign of increased coagulation activity. Using thrombin-antithrombin III complexes and prothrombin fragment 1+2 as in vivo hemostatic markers, we concluded that there is a hypercoagulable state in patients with MS and SR when LASEC is present.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
