DVT Deep Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month 2023
Promoting Deep Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month: Encouraging Early Diagnosis and Treatment of DVT
4.6/5
4.7 out of 5
March is the DVT (deep vein thrombosis) awareness month 🎗️, a public health initiative aimed at increasing awareness of this common medical condition.
It is a time when healthcare professionals come together to promote the importance of understanding DVT, its risks, symptoms, diagnostic work-up and treatment options.
DVT is a serious condition that occurs when a thrombus forms in one or more of the deep veins in the body, typically
the lower limbs. If left untreated, DVT can lead to severe complications such as pulmonary embolism (PE),
a life-threatening condition which significantly increases the risk of dying especially within the first year after diagnosis.
Here at ABC Vascular, we want to join this initiative and share with our community some interesting facts about DVT.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE),
comprising both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a common disorder with an annual incidence of approximately 1 or 2 cases per 1000 persons. Patients with VTE have an increased morbidity and mortality related not only to VTE but also to cancer, surgical procedures, and other medical conditions, such as post thrombotic syndrome and cardiovascular disease .
"Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a frequent and multifactor disease, with two major complications, pulmonary embolism and post thrombotic syndrome"
The diagnosis of DVT of the lower extremities is based on clinical assessment, pre-test probability score (e.g. Wells score), D-dimer measurements, and ultrasonography.
Diagnostic ultrasound plays a crucial role in the management of patients presenting with venous thromboembolism VTE and with post thrombotic syndrome following an episode of DVT.
