Thrombotic disorders (part 2)

Thrombotic disorders (part 2)

Show other versions (1)

Thromboembolic conditions are a leading cause of mortality, estimated to account for 1 in 4 deaths worldwide in 2010. Over time, the incidence and mortality rates of these conditions have declined in developed countries, but are increasing in developing countries. A delicate balance exists between procoagulant and anticoagulant factors within the vascular system. Numerous acquired or inherited conditions may tip the balance either way, i.e. towards a prothrombotic or prohaemorrhagic state. Acquired thrombotic disorders are the subject of discussion in this issue, the second of a 2-part series on thrombophilia.
