Rheometry parameters.
| Rheometry parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| G'LVE (linear viscoelastic range) | Stability of the clot at rest—this means at equilibrium conditions. Elastic behavior (reversible deformation) of the clot |
| Elastic limit | Start of non-linear deformation. The clot cannot relax into its original state beyond this critical shear stress |
| Breakup stress | Shear stress needed to either break the clot apart or break it from the rheometer plate to which it adheres |
