Abstract excerpt

Hemostasis maintains the blood in a fluid state under physiological conditions, yet enables rapid clot formation at sites of vascular injury to prevent excessive bleeding. Disruption of hemostasis can lead to thrombosis, which can occur in arteries, veins, or in the chambers of the heart.
