  4. Pathophysiology of thrombus • - Virchow’s triad • Abnormalities of Blood Flow • Abnormalities of Blood Constituents • - Atrial fibrillation • Low cardiac output • Poor contractility • Aberrant flow in dilated chambers • Fibrinogen, vWf, thrombin, fibrin, • d-dimers, platelet volume, • β-thromboglobulin, p-selectin, etc. • Abnormalities of Vessel Wall • Nitric oxide, prostacyclin, endothelin, vWf levels, thromboxane A2, etc. J ThrombHaemost 2007; 5: 224–31 J Am Coll Cardiol 1999; 33;1424-26
