Incidence of recurrent venous thromboembolism in relation to clinical and thrombophilic risk factors: prospective cohort study.
BACKGROUND Stratification for risk of recurrence after a first episode of venous thromboembolism (VTE) would affect the duration of anticoagulant therapy. We aimed to determine the incidence of recurrence of VTE in relation to clinical risk factors and standard laboratory testing for heritable thrombophilic defects. METHODS We established a database to prospectively follow-up a cohort of unse...
متن کاملWhole exome sequencing in thrombophilic pedigrees to identify genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism
BACKGROUND Family studies have shown a strong heritability component for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but established genetic risk factors are present in only half of VTE patients. AIM To identify genetic risk factors in two large families with unexplained hereditary VTE. METHODS We performed whole exome sequencing in 10 affected relatives of two unrelated families with an unexplained tend...
متن کاملRisk factors for venous thromboembolism.
Until the 1990s, venous thromboembolism (VTE) was viewed primarily as a complication of hospitalization for major surgery (or associated with the late stage of terminal illness). However, recent trials in patients hospitalized with a wide variety of acute medical illnesses have demonstrated a risk of VTE in medical patients comparable with that seen after major general surgery. In addition, epi...
متن کاملRisk factors for venous thromboembolism.
Risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) are often modifiable and overlap with risk factors for coronary artery disease. Encouraging our patients to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle by abstaining from cigarettes, maintaining lean weight, limiting red meat intake, and controlling hypertension might lower the risk of pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), although a cause-effect r...
متن کاملAcquired risk factors of venous thromboembolism in medical patients.
Acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious and potentially fatal disorder, which often complicates the course of hospitalized patients, but may also affect ambulatory and otherwise healthy people. While the introduction of thromboprophylactic measures has most likely affected the present occurrence of postoperative VTE, there is an increasing awareness of the importance of medical conditio...
