| Core Tip |
Colonic diverticular hemorrhage (DH) is the most frequent cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. A rapid increase in the incidence of colonic DH has been seen with the aging population. One reason is the widespread adoption of antithrombotic drugs (ATDs) since the early 2000s, based on guidelines to prevent ischemic heart disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disease. DH is more likely in patients who are older, are men, obesity, use nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or ATDs, and have hypertension and diabetes associated with arteriosclerotic disease. These factors are of value in handling DH patients. |
