Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests the increasing importance of hemostatic cardiovascular risk factors. First, acute manifestations of cardiovascular disease have been shown to be primarily due to partial or complete thrombotic vessel occlusion at the site of a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque [1]. Second, several hemostatic factors have been identified as apparent independent cardiovascular risk factors [2, 3]. Third, traditional risk factors such as smoking and hyperlipidemia have been associated with elevated hemostatic factors. Fourth, studies demonstrating a preventive effect for aspirin suggest that increased platelet aggregability is a risk factor [4]. Fifth, the link between acute variations in hemostatic variables and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) has been strengthened by the identification of a close temporal association between the increased morning risk of MI [5, 6] and sudden cardiac death [7], and increased platelet reactivity [8,9] and plasma viscosity [10], and decreased fibrinolytic activity [11]. Finally, the traditional risk factors do not fully explain the cardiovascular risk in a population.
