From: Preliminary reference intervals and the impact of citrate storage time for thrombelastography in cats including delta and the velocity curve

Fig. 7

Exemplarily illustration of the effect of citrate storage on the conventional thrombelastographic (TEG) tracing and the velocity curve (solid grey curve) in one cat included in the study. a: Analysis after 30 min, b: Analysis after 60 min. Note the shortening of the R-value and the K-value as well as the increase of MRTG and shortening of TMRTG consistent with a “hypercoagulable” TEG after increased incubation time. Abbreviations: TMRTG = time to maximum rate of thrombus generation, SP = split point, MRTG = maximum rate of thrombus generation.
