Guido Parodi, M.D., and colleagues of Careggi Hospital, Florence, Italy, conducted a study to examine whether high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR) after clopidogrel loading (a comparatively large dose of the drug given at the beginning of treatment) is an independent prognostic marker of risk of long-term thrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergoing an invasive procedure and receiving long-term antithrombotic treatment adjusted according to the results of platelet function tests.
In 5 to 15 percent of cases, patients develop a life-threatening complication known as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). ❋ By PritzkerLaw (2010)
O'Reilly and Johnson were going to try to prove that this rare condition, known as thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura, or TTP, had caused the tiny blood clots that cut off the oxygen to Joan Karsten's central nervous system and left her severely brain-damaged. ❋ Unknown (2010)
1 The morbidity and premature mortality in aHUS is caused by chronic uncontrolled activation of the complement system, resulting in the formation of blood clots in small blood vessels throughout the body, known as thrombotic microangiopathy or TMA.
However, labor leaders and interim Mayor Ed Lee -- who was appointed in January, after his predecessor became lieutenant governor, and is now seeking election -- co-opted Mr. Adachi's pension reform initiative and performed thrombotic surgery. ❋ Allysia Finley (2011)

Researchers concluded that the feasibility of exercise training as a treatment for post-thrombotic syndrome should be tested in a large multi-center trial. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Most of the participants were young, active and educated, so the results may not apply to all patients with post-thrombotic syndrome. ❋ Unknown (2010)
A pilot study of 43 patients in two Canadian cities found that 65% of participants randomly assigned to a supervised, six-month exercise program reported an improvement at three months in the severity of post-thrombotic syndrome, a chronic complication that affects about 50% of patients. ❋ Unknown (2010)
We now learn that in this large , randomized trial of persons whose LDL were less than 130 and their CRP were greater than 2,that there was a 43 % decrease in the incidence of venous thrombotic disease in the rosuvastatin 20 mg group. ❋ James Gaulte (2009)
The longer you treat the greater the likelihood of a serious bleeding complication, the shorter the period of anticoagulation, the greater the risk of thrombotic events. ❋ James Gaulte (2009)
The importance of not allowing the D-dimer's negativity to exclude PE is emphasized in this 2008 article from Holland in the journal CHEST.The authors reported data that indicated that almost 10% (9.3%) of patients with a likely diagnosis (they used a version of the Wells criteria that had only two categories, "likely" or "unlikely") and a negative D-dimer had evidence of thrombotic disease in the subsequent 3 months. ❋ James Gaulte (2009)
Leptin is one of a half dozen or so chemical messengers produced by fat cells, including thrombotic (pro-clotting) agents, vasoconstrictors (which raise blood pressure) and both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory agents that have powerful effects throughout the body. ❋ Unknown (2008)
