Key result
Preclinical atherosclerosis and traditional cardiovascular risk factors share common characteristics with venous thromboembolism, though evidence regarding their direct causal relationship remains inconclusive.
Ultrasound detection of preclinical atherosclerosis and evaluation of traditional risk factors may help identify patients at higher risk for venous thromboembolism.
May aid VTE risk stratification via atherosclerosis markers; leaves open direct causality pending prospective trials.
