Deep venous thrombosis after myocardial infarction. Predisposing factors.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of 89 patients admitted to coronary care after myocardial infarction, 27 per cent developed radioisotopic evidence of deep venous thrombosis. This complication occurred more frequently if the patient was over 6o years, if there was a previous history of angina pectoris, and if heart failure or a significant dysrhythmia developed. A group of patients with a low incidence of deep venous thrombosis was also identified.

Acute Myocardial Infarction in Association with Occult Ovarian Cancer.
UNLABELLED Acute myocardial infarction is usually caused by rupture of an atheromatous plaque in the coronary arteries. For patients without risk factors of atherosclerosis, other causes should be considered. We report on a 47-year-old woman with acute myocardial infarction but no cardiovascular risk factors, which was followed by deep vein thrombosis one week after recovery from acute myocardi...
متن کاملLack of effect of bed rest and cigarette smoking on development of deep venous thrombosis after myocardial infarction.
In a prospective study of patients admitted to a coronary care unit, the incidence of isotopically diagnosed deep venous thrombosis was found to be related to the severity of illness rather than to the duration of bed rest. In addition, no negative correlation was found between cigarette smoking and deep venous thrombosis.
متن کاملThrombosis in the young: epidemiology and risk factors. A focus on venous thrombosis.
Thrombosis occurs most often as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction or venous thromboembolism, ie, deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The incidence of all types of thrombosis is strongly dependent on age. Among young individuals, up to age 40, venous thrombosis is the most common form of thrombosis. The risk factors for arterial and venous thrombosis differ, and among the latte...
متن کاملPlasma 125 I-labelled fibrinogen clearance in diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis after myocardial infarction.
Plasma 125I-labelled fibrinogen clearance has been determined in 72 patients with myocardial infarction. No significant variation in clearance rates was observed whether or not deep venous thrombosis of the legs occurred. It is suggested that 125I-labelled fibrinogen clearance from the plasma is influenced by the degree of fibrinogen accumulation in the heart and by the degree of stability of t...
متن کاملVenous thromboembolism and subsequent hospitalisation due to acute arterial cardiovascular events: a 20-year cohort study.
BACKGROUND In some studies, venous thromboembolism has been associated with atherosclerosis and with the risk of arterial cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Other studies, however, do not show this association. To help clarify these discrepant findings, we aimed to investigate the risk of arterial cardiovascular events in patients who were diagnosed with venous thro...
