Role of thrombotic and fibrinolytic factors in acute coronary syndromes

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases

Abstract

There is a growing body of literature concerning the contribution of hemostatic factors to the development of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms of the coagulation/fibrinolytic system are complicated and one factor is intimately interrelated with another; thus the contribution of each factor cannot be clearly understood, unless hemostatic factors are considered in accordance with endothelial function and vessel morphology. Although there are many clinical studies about the correlation between hemostatic factors and cardiovascular risk, the results are inconsistent and conflicting at times. Fibrinogen and D-dimer are associated with atherosclerosis or coronary events across multiple studies, even after multivariate adjustment. But the hemostatic factors are intimately correlated, so it can be said that focusing on one to the exclusion of others is inappropriate. The clinical trials with statins or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors have shown favorable effects on the prognosis of cardiovascular disease. The study of hemostatic factors in relation to these drugs has provided insights into understanding how these drugs produce beneficial effects.

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

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.
