Research progress on role of platelets in development anddiagnosis of venous thrombosis / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

Venous thromboembolism, which is a common thrombotic disease, is prone to become a fatal pulmonary embolism due to the lack of existing treatments.Although the anticoagulant drugs are widely used, the disease relapses easily.In recent years, there are much progress in the formation of venous thrombosis and diagnosis, and antiplatelet agents may play a certain role in the prevention of venous thrombosis.These new developments provide a new train of thought that platelets play as a breakthrough to find more effective treatments.This article summarizes the progress in the diagnosis of venous thrombosis on platelets in recent years, which discusses whether antiplatelet strategies could be applied in venous thrombosis so as to provide reference for further research.
