    Factor VIII complex levels, including Factor VIII Coagulant (VIII C), Factor VIII-Related von Willebrand Factor (VIII-RWF), and Factor VIII-related Antigen (VIII RAg), are elevated in atherosclerosis patients. Increased VIII RAg correlates with vascular injury severity.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Hematology
    • Vascular Biology

    Background:

    • Atherosclerosis involves complex pathophysiological processes.
    • Factor VIII complex plays a role in hemostasis and vascular health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the trends of the factor VIII complex in patients with atherosclerosis.
    • To assess the relationship between factor VIII complex levels and the severity of vascular injury.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 96 atherosclerosis patients across six groups and a control group.
    • Measured plasma levels of Factor VIII Coagulant (VIII C), Factor VIII-Related von Willebrand Factor (VIII-RWF), and Factor VIII-related Antigen (VIII RAg).

    Main Results:

    • Significant increases in VIII RAg, VIII RWF, and VIII C were observed in all patient groups compared to controls.

  • VIII RAg elevation correlated with the severity of vascular injury.
  • The VIII RAg/VIII C ratio increased significantly in patients with more severe vascular injury.

    • Conclusions:

    • Factor VIII complex components are altered in atherosclerosis.
    • VIII RAg levels and the VIII RAg/VIII C ratio may serve as indicators for monitoring vascular injury severity in atherosclerosis.
