Clonal haemopoiesis and venous thromboembolism risk
1Ajax Therapeutics, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
Abstract:
Many cases of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are idiopathic and clonal haemopoiesis, a risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease, may be a contributing factor to VTE. The report by Englisch and colleagues suggests that clonal haemopoiesis is a risk factor for recurrent VTE, especially in people without identifiable thrombotic predisposition.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...
