Fibrin Clot Strength in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Measured by Thrombelastography

Background. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) exhibit increased risk of recurrent myocardial infarction. Maximal clot strength measured by thrombelastography (TEG) is a risk factor for recurrent ischemic events. We hypothesized that diabetic subjects exhibit increased fibrin clot strength in plat...
