NCT ID NCT00005504
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at what causes dangerous blood clots in the legs (venous thrombosis) and lungs (pulmonary embolism) in over 21,000 African American and white adults. Researchers are using data from two long-running heart health studies to find patterns and risk factors. The goal is to better understand these conditions, not to test a new treatment.
