VTEval Project Long-Term Observational Studies to Improve Diagnosis and Management of Venous Thromboembolism, Deep Vein Thrombosis, and Pulmonary Embolism

What this Trial Is About

Venous thromboembolism VTE, which includes deep vein thrombosis DVT and pulmonary embolism PE, is a serious condition causing significant illness and death. It is a common cardiovascular disease, especially in older adults, and poses a major public health challenge in developed countries. This research project, called VTEval, aims to improve how VTE is diagnosed, managed, and treated by studying patients over a long period. The VTEval Project consists of three separate observational studies following groups of patients suspected to have acute PE, acute DVT, or those with an incidental diagnosis of VTE. There are no experimental treatments administered instead, the project collects detailed data and biological samples to better understand the disease and its risk factors using a system-oriented approach. Participants will be monitored through regular assessments at baseline and follow-up visits at 3, 6, 12 months, and up to 6 years. Researchers will evaluate outcomes such as mortality, symptomatic VTE events, bleeding complications, heart and lung function, and hospitalizations. This long-term follow-up will help provide comprehensive insights into VTE outcomes and support improved care strategies.
