CVD risk factors are related to plasma fibrin clot properties independent of total and or γ’ fibrinogen concentration
(Elsevier, 2014)Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are associated with total fibrinogen concentration and/or altered clot structure. It is however, unclear whether such associations with clot structure are ascribed ... -
D-dimer relates positively with increased blood pressure in black South Africans: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2014)Introduction Hypertension is highly prevalent in black South Africans in which morbidity and mortality from stroke are on the increase. Elevated blood pressure and haemostatic markers can induce changes in blood rheology ... -
Ethnic-specific relationships between haemostatic and oxidative stress markers in black and white South Africans: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Haemostatic– and oxidative stress markers are associated with increased cardiovascular risk. In the black population, evidence exists that both an imbalance in the haemostatic system and oxidative stress link with the ... -
Fibrinogen concentration and its role in CVD risk in black South Africans – effect of urbanisationtion
(Schattauer, 2011)The aim of this study was to investigate correlates of fibrinogen concentration in black South Africans, as well as its association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and whether urbanisation influences this association. ... -
Relationship of coagulation and fibrinolytic variables with arterial structure and function in Africans
(Elsevier, 2014)Introduction Although both coagulation and fibrinolysis are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) the underlying nature and pathways of many of these associations are still unclear. Our aim was to determine which ... -
Retinal vessel calibres and haemostasis in black and white South Africans: the SABPA study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)Objectives: Retinal arteriolar narrowing associates with hypertension development and indicates increased cardiovascular risk. Evidence on whether the retinal vessel "calibres are related to the haemostatic system is ...
