- La International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis se asocia con organizaciones de trombosis relacionadas de cada continente para lanzar el World Thrombosis Day, centrado en una sola causa de los 3 principales fallecimientos cardiovasculares en el mundo

CHAPEL HILL, Carolina del Norte, 25 de marzo de 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Reuniendo a las naciones y comunidades locales para hacer frente a la trombosis, la enfermedad silenciosa y subyacente que es el mecanismo común de los tres principales asesinos cardiovasculares del mundo – ataque al corazón, derrame y tromboembolismo venoso (VTE) – la International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) anunció hoy que el día 13 de octubre será designado como el World Thrombosis Day, con el evento inaugural celebrándose este año. Asociándose con las sociedades de trombosis de cada continente del mundo, la ISTH se asocia además con las organizaciones cardiovasculares, neurológicas y hematológicas en un esfuerzo por formar a las personas, profesionales del tratamiento de la salud y responsables políticos en torno a los riesgos, prevención y tratamiento de la trombosis.

"Debemos reducir la carga de la trombosis si vamos a conseguir el objetivo mundial de la World Health Assembly de reducir la mortalidad de una enfermedad prematura y no comunicable en un 25% para el año 2025", explicó Gary Raskob, Ph.D., decano del College of Public Health de la University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center y presidente del ISTH World Thrombosis Day Steering Committee. "La trombosis es un mecanismo común para las tres principales causas de fallecimiento cardiovascular y un contribuyente destacado de la enfermedad no comunicable a nivel mundial".

La trombosis, formación de un coágulo de sangre que bloquea el flujo de sangre en una arteria o vena del cuerpo, puede producirse en cualquier edad y golpear en todo momento. Aunque el World Thrombosis Day proporcionará formación en torno a todas las formas de trombosis, el objetivo inicial estará en el tromboembolismo venoso (VTE), uno de los eventos trombóticos más comunes y potencialmente mortales, pero aún no apreciado. El VTE se produce cuando los coágulos de sangre en las venas profundas de las extremidades se rompen y llegan hasta los pulmones. Hay que considerar que:

  • Solo en Europa, medio millón de personas muere de VTE cada año – más que la cifra combinada de SIDA, cáncer de mama y próstata y accidentes de tráfico[1].
  • En Estados Unidos, entre 100.000 y 300.000 personas fallecen a causa de VTE cada alo, y el VTE está asociado a más de 500.000 hospitalizaciones[2],[3],[4]. 
  • En el resto del mundo, como en Asia, la situación es probablemente igual de extrema, con la falta de datos enmascarando el impacto de las enfermedades trombóticas.

"Las cifras mundiales de muertes solo a causa de VTE están creciendo, y hay muy poca concienciación en torno a esta condición, riesgos, síntomas y prácticas preventivas – incluso entre los numerosos profesionales de los cuidados de la salud", indicó el doctor Raskob. "El World Thrombosis Day se ha diseñado para impulsar la concienciación de la trombosis y el VTE".

La fecha del World Thrombosis Day, el 13 de octubre, se eligió al ser el cumpleaños de Rudolf Virchow, médico y patólogo alemán que acuñó en primera instancia el término "trombosis" y que llevó a cabo avances cruciales para el conocimiento de ello.

"La reducción de los fallecimientos procedentes de la trombosis, VTE y todas las otras formas relacionadas, es básico para reducir de forma importante las tasas de mortalidad generales y mejorar la salud pública y bienestar en todo el mundo", comentó Michael Berndt, Ph.D., pro-vicecanciller de ciencias de la salud de la Curtin University, Perth, Australia, y presidente del Concilio de ISTH. "Con el World Thrombosis Day, llevaremos al hogar este hecho tan importante – y a través de él, esperamos contribuir a la reducción de la cifra de casos no diagnosticados, aumentando la implementación de la prevención basada en la evidencia e instando a los sistemas de cuidado de la salud a asegurar las mejores prácticas para la prevención, diagnosis y tratamiento".

En este momento, más de 35 sociedades de trombosis y cardiovasculares de cada continente del mundo han solicitado el apoyo al World Thrombosis Day, y cada día se unen más. Si desea conocer una lista de estas organizaciones y para los que están interesados en hacer su solicitud y unir sus esfuerzos, visite www.isth.org o haga click aquí.

El apoyo financiero inicial para el World Thrombosis Day llega gracias a Bayer HealthCare (socio global fundador), Boehringer Ingelheim (socio global) y The Bristol-Myers Squibb / Pfizer Alliance (socio global).

Acerca de la ISTH
Fundada en 1969, la ISTH es la principal organización mundial sin ánimo de lucro dedicada al avance del conocimiento, prevención, diagnosis y tratamiento de las enfermedades trombóticas y hemorrágicas. La ISTH es una organización internacional de membresía con cerca de 4.000 médicos, investigadores y formadores que trabajan de forma conjunta para mejorar las vidas de los pacientes en más de 90 países de todo el mundo.
