Factors influencing thrombin generation measured as thrombin-antithrombin complexes levels and using calibrated automated thrombogram in patients with advanced coronary artery disease

Abstract

Age, higher fibrinogen, CRP, diabetes and male gender influence thrombin generation and/or coagulation activation in SA patients. Plasma levels of thrombin-antithrombin complexes do not correlate with the parameters obtained using the calibrated automated thrombogram method (C(max), ETP).
