i'm not sure but i'll throw something out there

"adrenaline" is an acute rise in catecholamines, right ?

catecholamines = vasoconstriction & tachycardia <-- wpuldn't that combination increase turbulance inside vessels (HTN) thus risking endothelial cell damage? Endothelial cells would recruit clotting factors to repair the damaged vessels in which factor v is also used up.

thats the closest link i know hopefully somebody has a better one.
