Abstract in brief

The study found that people with constipation in Denmark had a higher risk of developing various cardiovascular issues such as venous thromboembolism (especially splanchnic venous thrombosis), heart attack, stroke, peripheral artery disease, atrial fibrillation or flutter, and heart failure, with the strongest associations occurring within the first year after diagnosis.
Constipation was especially strongly linked to venous thromboembolism (HR 2.04), and other cardiovascular risks like myocardial infarction and stroke were also significantly elevated.
The increased risk was more pronounced in individuals who received more laxative prescriptions, indicating that the severity or persistence of constipation might correlate with higher cardiovascular risk.]
