Frequency of deep vein thrombosis among hospitalized non-surgical Japanese patients with congestive heart failure

Abstract: When evaluated ultrasonographically, the frequency of DVT in hospitalized non-surgical Japanese patients with CHF was approximately 35%. DVT occurred in 25% of patients treated by physical prophylaxis or anti-platelet agents. The results suggest that Japanese hospitalized patients with CHF have a high risk of DVT and thus can be recognized to have potential benefit by preventing and treating DVT according to the guidelines.

“…132,[137][138][139][140] Experimental data support this proposition to some degree, 141 and evidence in humans suggests that antiplatelet drugs do decrease the risk of venous thrombosis. [142][143][144][145] However, this should be viewed in the context of the substantial body of evidence in humans supporting administration of anticoagulants as first line prophylactic drugs for venous thrombosis. 146…”

“…A prospective, international, multicenter, observational study of a cohort of consecutive Asian patients indicates that congestive heart failure is a risk factor for venous thromboembolic events, whose odds ratio is within the range of Western patients [6]. Some recent studies found that reduced cardiac function is an independent risk factor for VTE in Asians as well as in Caucasians [6, 23–25]. …”

“…The incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been increasing for decades because of the aging population, obesity, Western dietary habits, advances in the diagnostic skills, increasing social awareness, and heart failure [1,2]. A standard anticoagulant therapy, the initial use of unfractionated heparin (UFH) with a transition to warfarin, has been developed and broadly utilized in treating acute VTE [1].…”
