Key facts

• Clot strength [Length fraction] in Blood by Thromboelastography.arachidonate inhibited
• Clot strength
• Calculation of percentage of clot strength that is lost due to inhibition of arachidonate-induced platelet aggregation. This is calculated based on measurements of the patient's maximum clot strength and clot strength due to arachidonate-induced platelet aggregation, via methods such as thrombelastography or resonance thromboelastography.
