Abstract excerpt
In patients with stable coronary heart disease (n = 1,001) we investigated the influence of tissue factor (TF) and TF pathway inhibitor (TFPI) polymorphisms on thrombin generation in vivo, measured by prothrombin fragment (F) 1 and 2, and the potential to generate thrombin ex vivo, measured by the calibrated automated thrombogram assay. Additionally, circulating levels of TF and TFPI were correlated to the...
