Role of platelets in hemostasis and thrombosis

R Rodvien, C H Mielke Jr

Role of platelets in hemostasis and thrombosis

R Rodvien et al. West J Med. 1976 Sep.

Abstract

Platelets interact with the coagulation factors in a complex way to arrest bleeding or generate thrombi. Recently, the platelet's relationship to endothelial alteration and atheroma production has received renewed attention. At present, tests of platelet function better define "hypocoagulable" rather than "hypercoagulable" states.
