Atherosclerosis contributes to coronary thrombosis formation by facilitating blood stasis as well as causing local endothelial injury.
Also applicable is the Virchow's triad of blood stasis, endothelial injury, and hypercoagulable state. The formation of coronary thrombosis generally follows the same mechanism as other blood clots in the body, the coagulation cascade. Due to extensive collateral circulation, a coronary thrombus does not necessarily cause tissue death and may be asymptomatic. Further information: Myocardial infarction § Signs and symptoms Pathogenesis Ĭoronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction are sometimes used as synonyms, although this is technically inaccurate as the thrombosis refers to the blocking of blood vessels with a thrombus, while myocardial infarction refers to heart tissue death due to the consequent loss of blood flow to the heart.
