Are gamers prone to e-thrombosis during long gaming sessions?

Beskrivelse

Aalborg University's Department of Clinical Medicine and Department of Molecular Diagnostics, in collaboration with Aalborg University Hospital's Department of Clinical Biochemistry, conducted a study on the potential coagulation activation during a 42-hour LAN party. The study found that "Thrombin generation increased slightly but not significantly during the LAN party, whereas the coagulation activation markers were unchanged." The results suggest that prolonged gaming with minimal physical activity does not significantly activate the coagulation system, and does not directly indicate a risk of venous thrombosis.
