Disclosures
I received consulting fees from Boehringer
Ingelheim, Portola and Takeda concerning
potential trials of antithrombotic agents in heart
failure patients.
Pathophysiology of Thrombosis in
Heart Failure
Points of Discussion
Historical perspective
Prothrombotic pathophysiological mechanisms
Completed and ongoing modern era trials
What heart failure setting and which patients?
Does routine antithrombotic therapy make
sense?

Factors Contributing to
Hypercoagulability in HF
Platelet function
Increased platelet aggregation and elevated beta
thromboglobulin, Pselectin, PECAM1
(platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule1;
CD31), osteonectin
Increased coagulability
Elevated TNF, thrombinantithrombin complexes
(TAT), D-dimer, prothrombin fragment F1 + 2 (even
greater increase in AF), fibrinopeptide A, IL6
(also increased in AF)
