Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) represents a significant global health challenge, ranking as the third leading cause of cardiovascular-related mortality. VTE pervades diverse clinical specialties, posing substantial risks to patient well-being and imposing considerable economic strains on health care systems. While platelets have long been recognized as pivotal players in hemostasis, emerging evidence underscores their multifaceted immune functions and their capacity to engage in crosstalk with other immune cells, such as neutrophils, thereby fostering immune-related thrombosis. Notably, investigations have elucidated the pivotal role of platelets in the pathogenesis of VTE. This review provides a comprehensive overview of platelet physiology, encompassing their activation, secretion dynamics, and implications in VTE. Moreover, it delineates the impact of platelet interactions with various immune cells on the initiation and progression of VTE, explores the correlation between platelet-related laboratory markers and VTE, and elucidates the role of platelets in thrombosis regression.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis is a topic driven review journal that focuses on all issues relating to hemostatic and thrombotic disorders. As one of the premiere review journals in the field, Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis serves as a comprehensive forum for important advances in clinical and laboratory diagnosis and therapeutic interventions. The journal also publishes peer reviewed original research papers.
Seminars offers an informed perspective on today''s pivotal issues, including hemophilia A & B, thrombophilia, gene therapy, venous and arterial thrombosis, von Willebrand disease, vascular disorders and thromboembolic diseases. Attention is also given to the latest developments in pharmaceutical drugs along with treatment and current management techniques. The journal also frequently publishes sponsored supplements to further highlight emerging trends in the field.
