| Abstract |
Dyslipidemia is common in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) by exacerbating atherosclerosis and hypercoagulability. Statins can stabilize atherosclerotic plaque and reduce prothrombotic status. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the coagulation activity and the effect of statins on procoagulant state of T2D patients using a novel activated protein C (APC)-dependent thrombin-generation assay. |
