In this review, we examine new studies on the incidence and the risk factors for VTE in the critically ill patients, diagnostic approaches to VTE, the relation between VTE and cardiovascular risk and duration of therapy. Also, we will review the new evidence on the use of electronic reminders to improve the adherence to VTE prophylaxis and the risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in patients receiving pharmacologic prophylaxis for VTE. http://www.thoracicmedicine.org/article.asp?issn=1817-1737;year=2006;volume=1;issue=2;spage=87;epage=91;aulast=ArabiVenous thromboembolismheparinprophylaxis
