Abstract

The role of thrombosis in precipitating acute cardiovascular disease (CVD) events has been well known since the early 1970s [1]. It is now becoming increasingly apparent that thrombosis may also be involved with the chronic development of CVD [2–4]. Clot formation or thrombosis can be conceptualized as a balance between procoagulant and anticoagulant and fibrinolytic forces C5 (Figure 2-1). Although some factors, such as thrombin, may have more than one role, this “pseudoequilibrium” provides a schema for assessing the relative coagulant balance.
