Classic risk factor clustering may inform post-pacemaker VTE assessment; leaves open predictive utility of hypercoagulability markers pending prospective studies.
Do clinical and laboratory markers of hypercoagulability and endothelial damage predict venous thromboembolism after pacemaker implantation?
Clustering of classic thrombotic risk factors, rather than procedure-induced hypercoagulability or endothelial damage markers, plays a role in the pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism after pacemaker implantation.
Korkeila et al. (2010) studied this question.
