Pulmonary embolism is a complication of venous thrombosis. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, but a condition that is highly preventable and, when diagnosed, very effectively treated. Yet in the United States, more people die of pulmonary embolism each year than of AIDS. The clinician must maintain a high index of suspicion at all times in

Hyperhomocysteinemia and Venous Thromboembolism
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2006Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfhydryl amino acid derived from the metabolic conversion of methionine, which is dependent on vitamins (folic acid, B12 and B6) as cofactors or cosubstrates. Severe hyperhomocysteinemia (homocystinuria), due to inherited metabolic defects of Hcy metabolism, is associated with very high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE ...

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2002Three factors are related with the pathogenesis of venous thrombosis: (1) blood stasis, (2) hypercoagulability, and (3) vessel damage. Local and systemic factors are implicated in blood stasis. Remarkable advances have been recently achieved regarding the understanding of the concept of hypercoagulability, with special emphasis to thrombophilic ...
