    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_embolism

    Venous thromboembolism (VTE), a common risk factor, is present at much higher rates in those over the age of 70 (three times higher compared to those aged 45 to 69). [27] This is likely due to there being a generally lower level of activity among the elderly, resulting in higher rates of immobility and obesity. [27]

    American evidence-based clinical guidelines were published in 2016 for the treatment of VTE. [42] In the UK, guidelines by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) were published in 2012, updated in 2020. [43] These guidelines do not cover rare forms of thrombosis, for which an individualized approach is often needed. [5]

[4] Weight reduction – through physical activity and dietary modification, as obesity is a risk factor for heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy. Effective weight management has been shown ...

    Those who finish warfarin treatment after idiopathic VTE with an elevated D-dimer level show an increased risk of recurrent VTE (about 9% vs about 4% for normal results), and this result might be used in clinical decision making. [133] Thrombophilia test results rarely play a role in the length of treatment. [80]

  7. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_thromboembolic...

    Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a long-term disease caused by a blockage in the blood vessels that deliver blood from the heart to the lungs (the pulmonary arterial tree). These blockages cause increased resistance to flow in the pulmonary arterial tree which in turn leads to rise in pressure in these arteries ...
