Abstract

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by venous thromboembolism, arterial thrombosis, and obstetric morbidities with persistently positive levels of antiphospholipid antibodies measured on 2 different occasions 12 weeks apart (including anti cardiolipin, anti β2 glycoprotein và lupus anticoagulant). Patients with APS are at increased risk for accelerated atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and valvular heart disease. Approximately 1% of people with APS can have catastrophic APS (CAPS), which is a serious complication of the antiphospholipid syndrome and has a very high mortality rate.
