Pulmonary Embolism Information ~ APSFA 

The APS Foundation of America, Inc. is the only United States nonprofit health agency dedicated to bringing national awareness to Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APS), the major cause of multiple miscarriages, thrombosis, young strokes and heart attacks. This site is volunteer run, community based 501(c)3 non-profit Public Charity organization and is dedicated to fostering and facilitating joint efforts in the areas of education, support, public awareness, research and patient services. a.p.s., A.P.S.

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) 

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) - DIC, consumptive coagulopathy DescriptionUsually there is a balance between the clotting and lysis systems but in this condition the coagulation mechanism is activated inappropriately and in a diffuse way. This may lead to thrombosis in the subacute or chronic form but more often haemorrhage occurs as the clotting factors are exhausted. DIC is characterised by evidence of both thrombin and plasmin. Understanding the role of thrombin and plasmin in DIC permits comprehension of the manifestations of the disease.
