Amiodarone inhibits arterial thrombus formation and tissue factor translation.
BACKGROUND In patients with coronary artery disease and reduced ejection fraction, amiodarone reduces mortality by decreasing sudden death. Because the latter may be triggered by coronary artery thrombosis as much as ventricular arrhythmias, amiodarone might interfere with tissue factor (TF) expression and thrombus formation. METHODS AND RESULTS Clinically relevant plasma concentrations of am...
متن کاملDietary α-linolenic acid inhibits arterial thrombus formation, tissue factor expression, and platelet activation.
OBJECTIVE Plant-derived α-linolenic acid (ALA) may constitute an attractive cardioprotective alternative to fish-derived n-3 fatty acids. However, the effect of dietary ALA on arterial thrombus formation remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Male C57Bl/6 mice were fed a high-ALA or low-ALA diet for 2 weeks. Arterial thrombus formation was delayed in mice fed a high-ALA diet compared with those...
متن کاملTissue factor-bearing microparticles and thrombus formation.
Blood microparticles are vesicular structures with a diameter of 100 to 1000 nm that are present in the blood of normal subjects and in patients with various diseases. These microparticles are derived from cells that circulate in the blood and cells associated with the blood vessel wall. Microparticle membranes retain the protein receptors of their parent cells and may retain RNAs and other cyt...
متن کاملRetinoic acid reduces induction of monocyte tissue factor and tissue factor/factor VIIa-dependent arterial thrombus formation.
Agents that downregulate the induction of monocyte/macrophage tissue factor (TF) activity may attenuate the thrombotic risk associated with mechanical restoration of vessel patency or artificial arterial grafting. In such events, procoagulant macrophages in the atherosclerotic plaque and procoagulant monocytes adherent to artificial materials may be exposed to the blood stream. Ishii et al (Blo...
متن کاملInduction of tissue factor in the arterial wall during recurrent thrombus formation.
OBJECTIVE Tissue factor (TF) is normally expressed at low levels in the media of blood vessels, but it is readily induced after vessel injury. It is not known whether vascular damage per se or thrombus formation is responsible for this phenomenon. METHODS AND RESULTS Cyclic flow variations (CFVs), attributable to recurrent thrombus formation, were induced in stenotic rabbit carotid arteries w...
