Coagulation Factors II, V, VII, and X, Prothrombin Gene 20210G→A Transition, and Factor V Leiden in Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract excerpt

Increased levels of hemostatic factors and genetic mutations of proteins involved in coagulation may play a role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. We investigated clotting activity of factors II (FII:C), V (FV:C), VII (FVII:C), and X (FX:C), the prothrombin gene 20210G-->A transition, and the factor V Leiden mutation in 200 survivors of myocardial infarction and in 100 healthy controls. FV:C...
