Abstract
Platelet contractile force and/or clot elastic modulus measurements are used to identify patients at risk for atherosclerosis or for bleeding during surgical procedures or other applications. Measurements which are elevated are indicative of atherosclerosis, and measurements which are reduced are indicative of a bleeding risk.
