Thrombosis and Thromboembolism A thrombus is defined as a blood clot,
comprising platelets, blood cells, coagulation factors and fibrin, which forms in blood vessels and adheres to
the vessel wall, frequently causing vascular obstruction. Thrombosis is
the formation, development, or presence of a thrombus.
This course covers the formation and components of a blood clot or thrombus, including the definition of thrombus, thrombosis, thromboembolism and embolus. It also outlines the pathogenesis and principal consequences of venous thromboembolism, arterial thromboembolism, and intracardiac thrombi.
