title: [The antiphospholipid syndrome and atherothrombosis].
abstract: The antiphospholipid antibody syndrome is an autoimmune disease which attracts in recent years increasingly the attention of angiologists and cardiologists. Although it is manifested as regards laboratory indicators as a circulating anticoagulant, somewhat paradoxically clinicians observe only a marked tendency towards venous and arterial thromboses at different sites. The condition is frequently encountered in young people with idiopathic and recurrent diseases. Laboratory diagnosis of the condition as well as new therapeutic possibilities are being developed.
