主 题:PULMONARY-EMBOLISM THROMBOSIS
摘 要:Venous thromboembolism (VTE), composed of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonarythromboembolism (PTE), has been recognized as worldwide health problem not only in the western countries but also in Asian-Pacific regions. Tremendous progress has been made in recent years in identifying the potential risk factors, understanding the pathogenesis and developing therapeutic approaches for VTE. However, most of the currently available data are from American and European populations. Limited data from Chinese population are validated. Efforts should be made to increase public awareness, and promote clinical and translational research of VTE in modem China.
