[Involvement of thrombophilia in coronary thrombosis]

Abstract

This review of thrombophilia and coronary thrombosis takes into account the "classical" thrombophilia commonly found in venous pathology and the conditions under which their research may be useful in certain forms of arterial thrombosis especially coronary thrombosis. In addition to the classical thrombophilia, exceptional thrombophilia are evoked, which are both factors of venous thrombosis but also arterial thrombosis. There are also thrombophilia that are more specific to the arterial system such as - homocystein which is potentially both a thrombosis factor but also an agent of arterial parietal lesion or - serotonin which is a factor of arterial spasm and especially coronary spasm. Finally, under the term thrombophilia, it is possible to include thrombophilic conditions, in particular cancers and inflammatory conditions.
