Summary von Willebrand factor (VWF), a glycoprotein involved in arterial thrombus
formation, is released into the circulation by secretion from endothelial cells. Plasma VWF …

The vascular endothelium is involved in the production of many important substances which
are involved in cardiovascular pathophysiology. One such substance which is synthesised …

It is well established that high plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) levels are associated with
an increased risk of arterial thrombosis, including myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke …

In the past decade the importance of the vascular endothelium in cardiovascular
pathophysiology has become more apparent. One substance that is synthesised by and …

“It is quite useless to argue the questions concerning the development of intimal scleroses if
we study and discuss the late stages of the disease alone. If we wish to gain insight into the …

High levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) are associated with an increased risk for
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although VWF levels are strongly heritable and genetic …

von Willebrand factor (vWJ) is an interesting and potentially important molecule whose
biology in health and disease warrants attention. A growing body of knowledge now …

One of the key players in both hemostasis and thrombosis is von Willebrand factor (vWF),
which demonstrates a duality between these two processes. Thrombus is structured by …
