This document discusses the concept of vulnerable blood and its role in atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis. It notes that vulnerable lesions play a critical role in acute coronary syndrome onset. These lesions are focal episodes compared to the diffuse nature of atherothrombosis. Several risk factors are associated with hyperreactive or vulnerable blood, including diabetes, smoking, and inflammation. Elevated tissue factor activity in the blood has been linked to cardiovascular risk factors and events. Improved glycemic control can reduce blood thrombogenicity in diabetics. The relationship between inflammation, thrombosis, and atherosclerosis is explored.
