Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AE-COPD) are associated with a high rate of cardiovascular events. Thromboinflammation (the interplay between coagulation and inflammation) is probably involved in these events. Extracellular vesicles (EV) increase during AE-COPD, but their role in thromboinflammation in COPD is still unknown. We investigated EV-associated prothrombotic and proinflammatory activity in COPD.
