Abstract
Heart failure is the end stage of multiple cardiovascular diseases, which can easily form venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to the combination of vascular wall injury, hypercoagulable state and decreased blood flow velocity. VTE is an important cause of death in patients with heart failure. By adopting active VTE prevention strategies, the rehospitalization rate and incidence of VTE in patients can be reduced, and the health outcomes of patients can be improved. This article summarizes the incidence, mechanism, risk factors, preventive measures, evaluation tools, and nursing measures of heart failure combined with VTE, in order to provide reference for preventing VTE in heart failure patients.
