Which of the following elements is NOT part of Virchow's Triad?

Virchow's Triad describes the three broad categories of factors that are thought to contribute to thrombosis (blood clot formation) in veins. These factors are hypercoagulability, stasis of blood flow, and intimal damage (which refers to injury to the blood vessel lining).

The element labeled as coagulation factors is not explicitly mentioned in Virchow's Triad itself; instead, it refers to the various proteins in the blood that work together to promote clotting. While changes in coagulation factors can lead to a state of hypercoagulability, which is part of the triad, coagulation factors themselves are not categorized as a component of Virchow's Triad.

By focusing on the classical definition of the triad itself, the correct answer highlights that coagulation factors are a contributing element to thrombosis but do not directly represent one of the three key components outlined by Virchow.
