Overall hemostasis potential of blood plasma and its connection to molecular markers of the hemostasis system in patients with stenosis of coronary artery

The correlation relationships between hemostatic potential parameters and concentrations of molecular markers of the hemostasis system: soluble fibrin (sf), D-dimer (DD), fibrinogen (Fg) and protein C (PC) in patients with stenosis of coronary artery 6 months after coronary angioplasty have been investigated. It was found three directions of changes in the state of the patients hemostasis system: an increasing in fibrinolytic activity (C) ~18% of patients; an increasing in coagulative activity (B) ~31% of patients; and maintaining of the balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis (A) ~51% of patients. In patients with signs of stenosis without angina pectoris, a strong Pearson correlation was shown between the half-life of the clot and the overall hemostatic potential (OHP) (r = 0.75, P
