Article Synopsis
- Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), posing significant health risks globally due to its potential for recurrence and serious consequences.
- A study conducted in Sincelejo, Colombia, reviewed 126 medical records to identify risk factors for unprovoked PE, revealing that higher levels of coagulation factor VIII and an A1-positive phenotype are significant predictors of this condition.
- Results suggest implementing preventive strategies to mitigate the incidence and recurrence of PE, particularly in patients with identified risk factors.
Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) primarily affects the adult population and is closely related to obesity. The most severe form of MASLD, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), can progress to liver fibrosis. While lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is known to be associated with cardiovascular disease, its relationship with MASLD remains unclear.
