Venous thromboembolism in an industrial north american city: temporal distribution and association with particulate matter air pollution.
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence, mainly from Europe and Asia, indicates that venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs most often in winter. Factors implicated in such seasonality are low temperature-mediated exacerbation of coagulation and high levels of particulate matter (PM) air pollution. However, in c...
