Cardiovascular risk factors and venous thromboembolism: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND The concept that venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atherosclerosis are 2 completely distinct entities has recently been challenged because patients with VTE have more asymptomatic atherosclerosis and more cardiovascular events than control subjects. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between cardiovascular risk factors and VTE. METHODS AND RESULTS Medline and EMB...
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 کاملCardiovascular risk factors and venous thromboembolism incidence: the longitudinal investigation of thromboembolism etiology.
BACKGROUND The association between traditional cardiovascular risk factors and risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has not been extensively examined in prospective studies. METHODS To determine whether atherosclerotic risk factors are also associated with increased incidence of VTE, we conducted a prospective study of 19 293 men and women without previous VTE in 6 US communities between 1987...
متن کاملPostpartum venous thromboembolism: incidence and risk factors.
OBJECTIVE To calculate incidence of postpartum venous thromboembolism by week after delivery and to examine potential risk factors for venous thromboembolism overall and at different times during the postpartum period. METHODS A deidentified health care claims information database from employers, health plans, hospitals, and Medicaid programs across the United States was used to identify deli...
