Zusammenfassung:From the data in our possession derived from the literature, it has been shown that men have a high risk and appear to have a specific higher risk of suffering from thromboembolism than women, regardless of age group. Furthermore, at present, this difference between the two sexes has not yet been justified by scientific evidence. Taking this evidence into account, this review was designed to find information in the literature that could be potentially useful and that is crucial to knowledge about the differences between men and women in the genesis of thromboembolic disease. The role of the constitutional and physical factors underlying the difference between the two sexes, the different habitual lifestyles, the role of sex hormones, and what happens in situations such as venous thromboembolism in the course of a neoplastic disease or in the case of pregnancy. We have also focused our efforts on correlating the gender differences between men and women in thromboembolic disease with the dysregulation of the metabolism and the activation of the inflammatory response that often underlies this pathology.
