Abstract:
In this article, a description has been given of the close connection between coronary atherosclerosis and the onset of thrombosis. The hemostatic factors examined in this study are implicated both in the pathology of acute coronary syndromes and in the prognosis of ischemic heart disease. Amongst other factors, the role of the following has been investigated: platelets, thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin, von Willebrand factor, factor VII and tissue factor, thrombin, fibrinogen tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor. It is concluded that endothelial dysfunction in coronary atherosclerosis is the most frequent cause of disturbances in hemostatic function.
