متن کاملVenous pulmonary thromboembolism and atherothrombosis: need for a new approach.
Pulmonary venous thromboembolism and atherothrombosis are traditionally considered as distinct diseases. As the two entities share common risk factors and mechanisms current experimental and clinical studies support their mutual causal relationship. For the clinician, the current concept requires a different clinical, laboratory and therapeutic approach. The patient with a first arterial or ven...
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. A direct relation between VTE development and prolonged travels has been documented, while some ...
متن کاملEpidemiology and pathophysiology of venous thromboembolism: similarities with atherothrombosis and the role of inflammation.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a multifactorial disease. Major provoking factors (e. g. surgery, cancer, major trauma, and immobilisation) are identified in 50-60 % of patients, while the remaining cases are classified as unprovoked. However, minor predisposing conditions may be detectable in these patients, possibly concurring to the pathophysiology of the disease, especially when co-existing...
متن کاملEffects of combined oral contraceptives on hemostasis and biochemical risk indicators for venous thromboembolism and atherothrombosis
Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are one of the most common contraceptive methods in the world. Already a few years after their introduction, in the early 1960s, case reports were published showing associations between use of COCs and venous and arterial thromboembolism. Epidemiological studies have confirmed increased risk for these unwanted side effects, but the mechanisms behind the incre...
