Minor persistent risk factors are listed for the patient who did not have a major persistent risk factor; minor transient risk factors are listed for patients who did not have persistent risk factors. Hereditary thrombophilia includes deficiency of antithrombin, protein C, or protein S, and factor V Leiden or the prothrombin gene mutation. Acquired thrombophilia includes antiphospholipid syndrome. A patient can contribute to multiple rows.
