Essentials Increase in serum uric acid (SUA) levels has been widely associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease. We investigated the link between SUA levels and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence. Patients with SUA levels ≥ 4.

Materials And Methods: We performed an ambispective observational study on 409 patients with a previous episode of VTE. All the patients were included in the retrospective analysis whereas a subgroup of 260 individuals, without history of recurrence and that stopped oral anticoagulation, were then followed-up for a mean of 52.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the link between metabolic syndrome (MetS), circulating progenitor/immune cells, and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) by comparing 240 VTE patients and 240 controls.
- Results showed that VTE patients had a significantly higher prevalence of MetS (38.3%) compared to controls (21.3%) and displayed poorer metabolic profiles, including higher BMI, triglycerides, and blood glucose levels.
- Additionally, low CD34(+) cell counts combined with high neutrophil levels were found to significantly increase the odds of VTE among MetS patients, highlighting a complex interaction that elevates VTE risk.
Background: High C-reactive protein (CRP) levels have been associated with higher mortality rate in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, it is not known whether inflammation plays a role in the time-course of heart failure (HF) in this clinical setting. Our aim was to study the nature of the relationship between CRP and HF during AMI.
