DVT kills 200,000 people each year; more than AIDS, breast cancer and highway accidents combined. 

American College of Chest Physicians


5% of the population develops DVT sometime during the course of a lifetime.

     Schreiber

 

  Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is where a blood clot forms within the body usually in the deep veins of the leg.  The blood clot can be asymptomatic or symptomatic with redness, swelling and pain.  Part of the clot can break away (embolise) and travel to the lungs where it can block one of the pulmonary arteries causing a 'pulmonary thromboembolism' (PTE).  A PTE can lead to low blood oxygen and circulatory failure and can be potentially fatal.
