Virchow's triad is a method of describing the three main factors that lead to a thrombosis -- sympathetic tone is not one of those and doesn't affect blood clotting. Hypercoagulability does lead to clotting, including malignancy, trauma, sepsis, and thrombophilia. Endothelial cell damage is part of Virchow's triad bc it causes blood to clot by promoting platelet adherence to the wall of the vessels; vascular wall injury is the second aspect of Virchow's triad. Lastly, turbulent blood flow is a constituent of circulatory stasis th
