Fibrinolytic system in atherosclerosis.

S Balkuv-Ulutin

    Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis
    |April 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diminished fibrinolysis (FA) may not directly cause atherosclerosis but is identified as a significant risk factor. Further research is needed to clarify its precise role in the disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Science
    • Hemostasis and Thrombosis

    Background:

    • Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by plaque buildup in arteries.
    • Fibrinolysis, the breakdown of blood clots, plays a crucial role in vascular health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review current literature on the relationship between fibrinolysis and atherosclerosis.
    • To present observations regarding the potential role of fibrinolysis in atherosclerotic processes.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies investigating fibrinolysis and atherosclerosis.
    • Analysis of observational data related to fibrinolysis and cardiovascular risk.

    Main Results:

    • Evidence suggests a correlation between diminished fibrinolysis and atherosclerosis.
    • A pathogenic role for reduced fibrinolysis in atherosclerosis is not definitively established.

    Conclusions:

    • Diminished fibrinolysis is a potential risk factor for atherosclerosis.
    • Further investigation is warranted to elucidate the causal link between fibrinolysis and atherosclerosis.
