BackgroundAcute coronary syndrome (ACS) is caused by arterial thrombosis and is associated with sustained activation of coagulation. Clotting requires interactions of coagulation factors with aminophospholipids (aPL): phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) on membrane surfaces. The aPL composition of circulating membranes in coronary disease has not been characterized. Furthermore, the contribution of external-facing aPL to elevated thrombotic risk in ACS is unknown.
