DVT
is a blood clot usually found in your lower limbs. Up to 2 million
Americans are affected annually by DVT. Each year, approximately
300,000 people in the U.S. die from DVT-related complications. Yet
surprisingly, many people have little or no knowledge of this condition
or how to recognize its signs and symptoms.
With
proper risk assessment and treatment, you can greatly reduce your
risk of DVT. Talk to your doctor. Learn the risks, get the facts.
