About the project
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), comprising both pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), affects about 1,000,000 individuals/year in Europe and is the third most common cardiovascular disease after coronary artery disease and stroke.
The aim of our research is to identify disease-associated blood biomarkers linked to the underlying pathogenesis of thrombosis and to develop these into prediction tools that ultimately would have clinical utility in diagnosis and risk prediction, to aid in tre...
