Deep Vein Thrombosis. Are You at Risk? Part 1
Description
Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a condition where blood clots form in the deep veins of the leg. If the clot travels through the bloodstream to the lungs, it can cause serious complications and even death. Once largely unrecognized, it is now becoming a more common condition. The program Deep Vein Thrombosis: Are You at Risk? explores ways to avoid getting DVT and treatments for those already suffering from it.
