Background Family history of myocardial infarction (FHMI) is known to increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objectives To investigate the effect of prothrombotic genotypes on the association between FHMI and VTE in a case-cohort recruited from a general population. Methods Cases with a...
