Biochemical markers of coagulation activation in mitral stenosis, atrial fibrillation, and cardiomyopathy

Clinical Cardiology

Abstract

Advances in the understanding of the biochemistry of the mechanism of hemostasis have led to the development of sensitive methods for determining levels of markers which reflect thrombin activity (thrombin-antithrombin III complex, fibrinopeptide A, F1 + 2 fragment), active fibrinolysis (D-dimer, plasmin-alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor complex), and platelet activity (platelet factor 4, beta-thromboglobulin) in vivo. Measurement of these markers may be useful in identifying patients with various cardiovascular disorders at high risk of thromboembolism.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Sensitive and accurate biomarkers used in cardiovascular risk prediction can potentially be used to manage the risk of cardiovascular disease. Discover the latest research on Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment here. Discover the latest research on Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

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.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
