Part 3/10:
Evaluating Clotting Factors and Cardiovascular Events
Dr. Hussy proposed a paradigm shift in understanding the processes involved in atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. He emphasized that these events often result from clot formation that obstructs blood flow. Drawing from various studies that investigate clotting mechanisms, he highlighted that a substantial portion of atherosclerotic plaque is comprised of clotting tissue, suggesting that the initiation of clots is a more significant mechanism in cardiovascular events than previously understood.
