[Thromboembolic complications in rheumatism, atherosclerosis and hypertension].
A total of 1084 deceased with basic diseases atherosclerosis, hypertonic disease an rheumatism have been studied retrospectively for 11 years (1962-1972). Thrombo-embolic complications were established in 37,7% the examined. Considerably higher incidence of thrombo-embolic complications were found in rheumatism (44%) and atherosclerosis (43%). Arterial and cardiac thrombosis predominate in those three diseases. Venous thrombosis is relatively rare. Pulmonary thromboembolia, the most frequent cause for the lethal end, is found in 43,71% of the deceased with thromboembolias. The chronic cardiac decompensation is an important additional factor, favouring the thrombo-embolic complications. The rheumatic process activity in theumatism plays a relatively not so important role.
