Abstract

Venous and arterial thromboembolic diseases constitute altogether
a problem with great impact on public health, as their cardiac and
cerebrovascular manifestations are the major cause of mortality
and morbidity in western societies, including Portugal.1
A better knowledge of morbidity and mortality associated
with thromboembolic diseases, as well as the discovery of new
antithombotic drugs and more reliable means of diagnosis have
revolutionized this area of Medicine.
In this article, the authors present a revision of the literature
on thrombophilia, including the clinical and diagnostic aspects
and treatment options.
