Urinary 11-DH-TXB2 reflects platelet activation and thrombosis tendency. Most acute cardiovascular events are described as resulting from thrombosis on ruptured or unstable plaque rather than plaque alone. Chronically elevated fibrinogen indicates excessive clotting tendency even without injury. High blood viscosity or overactive platelets lower the threshold for dangerous clot formation. Elevated 11-DH-TXB2 is presented as an independent predictor of heart attack and stroke risk.
