Risk of venous thromboembolism in patients hospitalized with heart failure.
Because of uncertainty about the prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in hospitalized patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey were investigated. Among hospitalized patients with CHF, PE was diagnosed in 0.73% and DVT in 1.03%. The relative risk for PE in patients with CHF compared with patients with no CHF ...
متن کاملD-dimer levels and risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism.
CONTEXT Widespread screening of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) for thrombophilic risk factors has become common clinical practice. Because of the increasing number of risk factors, assessing the risk of recurrence in an individual patient is intricate; therefore, a laboratory method that measures multifactorial thrombophilia is required. OBJECTIVE To prospectively study the relati...
متن کاملCut-off value of D-dimer in pulmonary thromboembolism and pneumonia
Aim: The differential diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and pneumonia remains difficult in emergency rooms. High D-dimer levels in the pneumonia may be misdiagnosed as PTE on the basis of similar clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings. Since D-dimer elevation may also be seen in pneumonia cases, the comparison of D-dimer values in patients diagnosed as pneumonia and PTE, in ...

متن کاملHow I manage venous thromboembolism risk in hospitalized medical patients.
Venous thromboembolism is a significant cause of illness and death worldwide. Large bodies of evidence support the heightened risk status of hospitalized medical patients, and that prophylactic measures significantly reduce the risk of thrombosis, yet these patients often fail to receive adequate prophylactic therapy. This failure may be accounted for by a lack of awareness of the relevant indi...
