Confocal microscopy of the paediatric haemostatic system.
Journal Title: World Journal of Medical Images, Videos and Cases - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the world with cardiovascular disease causing approximately 54 million deaths globally. One of the main mechanisms of cardiovascular complications occurs from an imbalance in the blood clotting system (haemostatic system), resulting in thrombosis or an occlusion of a blood vessel. A concept known as developmental haemostasis has shown that there are differences in the way the haemostatic system coagulates blood in children when compared to adults. The aim of this study is to further characterise the differences between children and adults using confocal microscopy.
