Venous thromboembolism (VTE), consisting of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is highly prevalent in in-hospital HF patients and contributes to worse prognoses. However, the risk of VTE in out-patients with HF in long-term period is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between HF and the risk of VTE in a long-term follow-up duration.

心力衰竭与长期静脉血栓栓塞的风险增加有关。

静脉血栓栓塞 (VTE) 由深静脉血栓形成 (DVT) 和肺栓塞 (PE) 组成，在住院 HF 患者中非常普遍，并且会导致更差的预后。然而，门诊HF患者长期发生VTE的风险存在争议。本研究旨在评估长期随访期间 HF 与 VTE 风险之间的关联。
