The major factors predisposing to thrombogenesis include all of the following except_____________?

Correct answer: A. Pattern of blood flow

  • A. Pattern of blood flow
  • B. Hyper coagulability of blood
  • C. Altered blood flow
  • D. Endothelial injury

Explanation

Virchow's triad consists of endothelial injury, hypercoagulability, and abnormal blood flow, including stasis or turbulence. Thus the nonstandard phrase 'pattern of blood flow' is the intended exception, whereas altered blood flow is a recognized factor.
