Polycythemia vera and essential thrombocytosis and cerebral thrombosis / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are the two most common subtypes of myeloproliferative diseases. Recent studies have shown that cerebral thrombosis is one of the major complications of PV and ET, which is closely related to the poor outcomes of patients. Meanwhile, PV and ET also increase the risk of recurrent cerebrovascular events in patients with cerebral thrombosis. This article reviews the research progress on the correlation between PV and ET and cerebral thrombosis, in order to provide the basis for clinical prevention and treatment of PV and ET.
