Ischemic heart disease is caused by a combination of and interaction between a number of genetic and environmental factors. In a study of a group of healthy men from the United Kingdom, such an interaction was identified between the levels of plasma triglycerides and genetic variation determining plasma levels of factor VII, a clotting factor that is associated with risk of ischemic heart disea...

Plasma clotting factor VII and plasma fibrinogen have been claimed as independent risk factors for occlusive cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these coagulation parameters affect early atherosclerosis, additional to their possible effect on arterial thrombosis. We used high-resolution quantitative ultrasonography to measure carotid intima-media thickness i...

As anticoagulant therapy has become more widespread and a greater knowledge has been accumulated regarding the mode of action of coumarin derivatives, problems arising from the use of different thromboplastin preparations have been subjected to greater scrutiny. This paper presents an evaluation of the dependability and significance of different types of tissue thromboplastin in the determinati...
