1.1. Definition of Terms-Thrombosis, Thromboembolic Disease,
Atherosclerosis, and Blood Clotting The terms heart attack or
myocardial infarction are more commonly used than thrombosis. The
infarct-muscle destruction is simply the end result and thrombosis
is the real cause of the heart attack. Thrombosis may be defined as
the process of formation of a coalescent or agglutinated solid mass
of blood components in the blood stream. Thrombi formed in either
arteries or veins often cause occlusion in the vascular system and
prevent blood flow. Obstruc to the blood vessel usually occurs at
the site where the thrombi deposit. tion Furthermore, thrombi may
break loose, travel through the circulating blood stream, and cause
obstruction at some distal point of narrowing elsewhere. The mass
or thrombus that moves is referred to as an "embolus." The two
phenomena are lumped together under the term thromboembolic
disease. Thrombosis that reduces blood supply to the heart is the
primary factor in heart attacks."
