837 (18% versus 10%), and as expected, factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene mutations were more prevalent in the white population. The study also showed that blacks who died as a result of PE were on average 9 years younger than whites who died of PE. This finding suggests that there may be important differences between patients with fatal out-of-hospital PE and those with other types of VTE events (isolated distal DVT, proximal DVT with or without PE, or isolated PE). VTE may in fact be a disease with multiple distinct phenotypes, each with a variable incidence and expression pattern in different ethnic groups. 11
