The frustrating aspects of these diseases lie not only in the difficulty of their timely diagnosis, but in the selection of appropriate therapy, titration of intervention, and identification of patients at risk. Assays like the INR, PTT, and ACT can follow the course of specific pathways that govern activation of specific coagulation factors or platelet function, but they do not provide the insight into mechanism, risk and potential therapeutic benefit. We posit that elucidation of the complex dynamics of clot generation requires an integrated assessment that takes into account all of the factors driving thrombosis simultaneously.
