title: [Role of hemostatic markers in the pathogenesis of coronary diseases].
abstract: The underlying processes that lead to atheroma formation and coronary thrombosis are complex and still incompletely understood. There is a growing interest in defining a possible role of haemostatic markers for atherothrombotic risk. There is a large body of literature concerned with common genetic variations within genes of haemostatic factors, their plasma levels, and how they might influence the development of arterial thrombotic diseases. The aim of this review is to assess our current state of knowledge on this topic.
