A higher intake of vegetables has been convincingly associated with a decreased risk of arterial thrombotic disorders, so that a similar association may be expected with venous thromboembolism. An electronic search was conducted in Medline, Web of Science and Scopus to identify epidemiological studies that investigated the independent association between intake of vegetables and risk of venous thrombosis. Our systematic literature search allowed to identify four prospective and one case–control…

Nutrition, Thrombosis, and Cardiovascular Disease
TLDR
Experimental and human interventional studies which investigated the antithrombotic effects of nutrients in experimental models of thrombosis or analyzed biomarkers of clotting, platelet, and fibrinolysis activation in human are summarized.
Statins for Preventing Venous Thrombosis: For or Against?
TLDR
Several lines of evidence seemingly demonstrate that these drugs are also effective to dampen platelet function and may also interfere with blood coagulation, thus representing potentially suitable agents for also lowering the risk of venous thrombosis.

Low vegetable intake is strongly associated with venous thromboembolism in Thai population
TLDR
Low vegetable intake, hormonal use and high BMI are the risk factors for noncancer-related VTE in Thai population.
Prospective study of diet and venous thromboembolism in US women and men.
TLDR
The authors found that adherence to the Western dietary pattern was associated with an increased risk of VTE in men but not in women, whereas a significant positive association was found in men.
Greater Fish, Fruit, and Vegetable Intakes Are Related to Lower Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism: The Longitudinal Investigation of Thromboembolism Etiology
TLDR
A diet including more plant food and fish and less red and processed meat is associated with a lower incidence of VTE, and Hazard ratios were attenuated only slightly after adjustment for factors VIIc and VIIIc and von Willebrand factor.

TLDR
An up-to-date review of the role of nutrient and nonnutrient supplements on platelet aggregation and risk of thrombosis is provided.

Fruits, vegetables and coronary heart disease
TLDR
Evidence that fruit and vegetable consumption reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease remains scarce thus far and the hypothesis that nutrients in fruit and vegetables have a protective role in reducing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and preventing complications of Atherosclerosis has not been tested in prevention trials.
Antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and fibrinolytic activity in vitro of extracts from selected fruits and vegetables
TLDR
From a screening that included a variety of fruits and vegetables, antiplatelet activity was found in green beans and tomatoes, anticoagulant activities in grapes and raspberries, whereas fibrinolytic activity was observed only in rasp berries.
Diet as prophylaxis and treatment for venous thromboembolism?
TLDR
For both prophylaxis and treatment of VTE, randomized controlled non-inferiority clinical trials are proposed to compare standard anticoagulant treatment with potentially low VTE risk diets and the statistical considerations are discussed.
Comparison of associations of adherence to a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)‐style diet with risks of cardiovascular disease and venous thromboembolism
TLDR
An apparently strong association of adherence to the DASH diet with incidence of CVD was attenuated upon control for confounding variables, and adherence to theDASH diet was not associated with risk of VTE in women.
