Association of Factor V Leiden with Subsequent Atherothrombotic Events: A GENIUS-CHD Study of Individual Participant Data.
Conclusions: Factor V Leiden was not associated with increased risk of subsequent atherothrombotic events and mortality in high-risk participants with established and treated CHD. Routine assessment of factor V Leiden status is unlikely to improve atherothrombotic events risk stratification in this population.
