Platelet count is associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer and mortality: A population-based cohort study
Platelet count is used to determine bleeding risk and monitoring thrombopoiesis. While abnormal platelet counts are associated with mortality and morbidity, it is unclear whether it also apply to platelet counts within reference range.We investigated the relationship between platelet count (100 –450×109/L) and mortality, development of future cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, or peripheral vascular disease), venous thromboembolism, bleeding or cancer in the general population.

Clinical and laboratory predictors of deep vein thrombosis after acute stroke: Does D-dimer really improve predictive power?
We thank Kola and colleagues for their interest in our work titled ‘Clinical and laboratory predictors of deep vein thrombosis after acute stroke’ recently published in Thrombosis Research [1]. We are grateful for their thoughtful comments around the study methodology and data presentation [2].

SePARating thrombosis and hemostasis?
Heart attack and ischemic stroke, which commonly arise from thrombotic occlusions, are the world-leading causes of death and a major health burden. In most cases, the rupture or erosion of an unstable atherosclerotic plaque, which results in the exposure of thrombogenic extracellular matrix proteins, triggers arterial thrombosis [14]. Under these conditions, platelets, which circulate in the blood stream, become captured and activated by extracellular matrix proteins. Inevitably, platelet activation leads to thrombus formation at sites of damage via the action of platelet integrins, predominantly αIIbβ3, and the presence...

ABCB1 SNP rs4148738 Modulation of Apixaban Interindividual Variability
Direct Oral AntiCoagulants (DOACs) were approved to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), for the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE), in elective orthopaedic surgery, for treatment of acute VTE and prevention of recurrencies [1]. Apixaban is an orally active, direct selective factor Xa inhibitor [2,3].

Clinical and laboratory predictors of deep vein thrombosis after acute stroke; does D-dimer really improve predictive power?
We have read with great interest the paper “Clinical and laboratory predictors of deep vein thrombosis after acute stroke” by Balogun et al. [1], in which the authors investigate the interesting and relevant topic of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prediction after acute stroke. Specifically, their main research question focusses on the predictive value of stroke severity score and markers of haemostatic activation. This is a relevant question as venous thrombosis, mainly manifested as DVT and pulmonary embolism, is regarded as a serious, potentially life-threatening complication in stroke patients, even though the reports ...

Development and validation of a decision aid for choosing among antithrombotic agents for atrial fibrillation
Multiple antithrombotic agents are available for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF). A decision aid can assist patients in making informed decisions that best serves their needs.

Association of von Willebrand factor deficiency with prevalent cardiovascular disease and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Von Willebrand factor (VWF), a large multimeric glycoprotein, plays a critical role in hemostasis. It binds to subendothelial collagen at the site of vascular injury where it facilitates platelet activation. Given the role of VWF in platelet activation, and the role of platelets in cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic stroke, VWF may influence the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition, evidence suggests that VWF may affect CVD risk by playing a role in atherogenesis by direct participation in plaque formation [1].

Clinical and laboratory predictors of deep vein thrombosis after acute stroke
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication of acute stroke, but the new incidence in the era of improved specialist input in stroke care is yet unknown. The models for VTE diagnosis is well established, but prediction models to target at-risk patients for pharmacological prophylaxis is lacking and requires further research, particularly in the aftermath of acute stroke.

Arguments favoring low versus high dose aspirin in the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism
The use of aspirin in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is still controversial. In a profound review on the use of aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism and other cardiovascular disorders Cohen et al. [1] conclude that the benefits of aspirin are well documented for conditions like myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, and stroke, but less clearly for prevention of VTE after orthopedic surgery. The latter indistinctness has been a matter of concern in many earlier reviews and meta-analyses, and has even led to non-uniform guidelines on VTE prevention from the American ...
