"Excessive Clotting" (HYPERCOAGULATION) | Virchow’s Triad | Causes of Venous and Arterial Thrombosis

The video tutorial covers hypercoagulability, focusing on its causes and how to remember them using the 'calm apes' mnemonic. It explains Virchow's Triad and delves into specific conditions like protein C deficiency, antiphospholipid syndrome, and Factor 5 Leiden. The tutorial also distinguishes between arterial and venous clots, highlighting conditions that cause each. The video concludes with a call to explore more hematology topics.
