Application of a combined non-invasive diagnostic approach to screening examination of a high-risk group of patients made it possible to detect phlebothrombosis on 34 lower extremities in 31 patients with absent clinical manifestations of the disease. Combined use of Doppler ultrasound flowmetry and occlusive venous plethysmography increases the accuracy of the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities up to 96%.

103 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), disqualified for thrombolytic treatment, were randomized into two groups. Group I received 5000 IU of heparin (subcutaneously, twice daily) for 14 to 21 days. Group II was without anticoagulant prophylaxis. Patients were evaluated for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using radiofibrinogen uptake test and for the presence of intracardiac mural thrombus (ICT) by two-dimensional echocardiography (50 patients). The incidence of DVT was 4% in group I and 19% in group II. ICT was diagnosed in three patients (13%) of group I and in 10 patients (45%) of group II. Five patients under heparin prophylaxis and 6 non-anticoagulant patients died in the hospital of cardiac causes. There were no bleeding complications. Low-dose heparin seems to be an effective prophylaxis of thrombotic complications in patients with AMI.

The diagnostic value of 16 signs and symptoms of active deep venous thrombosis of the calf (ADVTC) is analysed. Thirty-nine patients suspected of ADVTC were examined clinically using 16 symptoms and signs, the 125I-fibrinogen uptake test and X-ray phlebography. Active thrombosis was confirmed in 19 patients, in 20 patients the diagnosis of post-thrombotic syndrome was established. The pattern recognition procedure, carried out with the aid of 16 symptoms and signs only by a computer, was able to differentiate both conditions with 95% sensitivity and 90% specificity. The data do not comprise unexamined asymptomatic ADVTC, which type of ADVTC it is impossible to detect. The most important signs for recognition of ADVTC appeared to be (in the order of importance): painful calf pressure, a positive Meyer sign, asymmetrical oedema and a painful Lowenberg test between 80 and 139 mmHg, i.e. a painful calf and asymmetrical oedema.
