Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events among patients with provoked and unprovoked venous thromboembolism: Findings from the Registro Informatizado de Enfermedad Tromboembólica Registry

Abstract

Overlap exists between the risk factors for coronary artery disease and venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, a paucity of data is available on the incidence of major acute cardiovascular events (MACE) and major adverse limb events (MALE) among patients presenting with VTE. Moreover, it is unknown whether the rate of cardiovascular outcomes differs among patients with unprovoked vs provoked VTE.
