Why the study?
Does the maximum rate of thrombus generation (MRTG) provide a more parametric evaluation of clot propagation compared to the alpha angle?
Does the maximum rate of thrombus generation (MRTG) provide a more parametric evaluation of clot propagation compared to the alpha angle?
MRTG provides a more parametric and sensitive evaluation of clot propagation compared to the alpha angle, varying by 200-300% compared to 12-20% for normal alpha values.

MRTG may offer a more sensitive clot propagation metric than alpha angle; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
