Atherosclerosis and venous thromboembolism - similarities.
Copyright © Polskie Towarzystwo Kardiologiczne INTRODUCTION Venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and atherothrombosis have long been considered to be separate entities with distinct pathogenic mechanisms. The traditional rationale for this concept has been based on: (1) pathologic data showing platelet-rich thrombi in the arteries in...
متن کاملVenous Thromboembolism Following Travel
International travel has become increasingly common and accessible, hence, about two billion passengers undertake international and domestic air travel each year. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious public health disorder which may occur following prolonged travel, especially after air travel.

متن کاملVenous thromboembolism and arterial thromboembolism. Many similarities, far beyond thrombosis per se.
Thromb Haemost 2008; 100: 181–183 Venous and arterial thromboembolic disorders are usually considered as two distinct disease entities.At first this belief appears to be indisputable. Arterial thrombi consist mainly of platelets and are induced by arterial plaque ruptures which tend to occur at sites where shear rates are high. Conversely, venous thrombi mainly consist of red blood cells and fi...
متن کاملVenous thromboembolism has the same risk factors as atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that idiopathic pulmonary embolism is positively associated with other cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke, suggesting a potentially important association between atherosclerosis risk factors and venous thromboembolism (VTE). We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the correlation between risk factors for atherosclerosis and VT...
متن کاملThalassemia and Venous Thromboembolism
Although the life expectancy of thalassemia patients has markedly improved over the last few decades, patients still suffer from many complications of this congenital disease. The presence of a high incidence of thromboembolic events, mainly in thalassemia intermedia, has led to the identification of a hypercoagulable state in these patients. In this review, the molecular and cellular mechanism...
