Abstrakt: Cardiovascular diseases, among which includes coronary artery disease, represent one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Research aimed at determining the risk factors involved recognizes a group of "traditional" risk factors, but also more recent studies identified over 100 "novel" ones which may have a role in the disease. Among the latter is the thrombophilia profile of a patient, a pathology well-established for its involvement in venous thromboembolism, but with less studied implications in arterial thrombosis. This paper reviews the literature, explaining the pathophysiology of the thrombophilia causes associated most with coronary thrombosis events. Results of several studies on the subject, including a meta-analysis with over 60,000 subjects, determined the significant involvement of factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A mutation, plasminogen activator inhibitor–1 and antiphospholipid syndrome in the development of coronary artery disease. The mechanisms involved are currently at different stages of research, with some already established and used as therapeutic targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
