Venous thromboembolism (VTE) consists of<unk> <unk><unk>  (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or both.  In these chapters on VTE, the word risk<unk>  refers to those epidemiologic and genetic variables that expose someone to a higher risk of developing venous<unk> .  The word triggers refer to those<unk>  in the patients immediate history or environment that may have led to the occurrence of the venous<unk> .  The risk<unk>  for VTE are a constellation of predisposing conditions which stem from the three principles of Virchow's triad: stasis of the blood flow, damage to the vascular endothelial cells, and hypercoagulability.  The risk<unk>  for VTE can be classified as temporary, modifiable and non-modifiable.  It is suggested that venous<unk>  also shares risk<unk>  with arterial<unk> , such as obesity, hypertension, smoking, and diabetes mellitus.
