  2. Coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

    Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It results in hemostasis , the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.

  3. Coronary thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_thrombosis

    This blood clot may then restrict blood flow within the heart, leading to heart tissue damage, or a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. [1] Coronary thrombosis is most commonly caused as a downstream effect of atherosclerosis, a buildup of cholesterol and fats in the artery walls. The smaller vessel diameter allows less blood ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombosis

    Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) 'clotting') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel (a vein or an artery) is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss ...

[1] [2] While a blood clot is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis in or out of the circulatory system.

    Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a condition in which blood clots form throughout the body, blocking small blood vessels. [1] Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, leg pain, problems speaking, or problems moving parts of the body. [1] As clotting factors and platelets are used up, bleeding may occur.

  9. Hemostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemostasis

    The blood clot contains the secondary hemostasis plug with blood cells trapped in it. This is a necessary step for wound healing , but it has the ability to cause severe health problems if the thrombus becomes detached from the vessel wall and travels through the circulatory system; If it reaches the brain, heart or lungs it could lead to ...
