Haemocompatibility and thrombogenicity
Thrombogenesis
Injury to endothelium
- Heart and arteries e.g. left ventricle at sites of myocardial infarction or heart attack
- Ulcerated plaques in advanced atherosclerosis of the aorta and arteries, particularly coronary arteries
- Cardiac chambers after injury to the endocardium:
- Cardiac surgery
- Infections of the myocardium
- Immunologic myocardial reactions
- Inflammatory valve disease and prosthetic valves
