DVT

DVT, or Deep Vein Thrombosis, is a serious condition that often results from poor blood flow, which in turn can create dangerous blood clots. DVT can be brought on by surgery, lifestyle characteristics, or separate injuries or conditions. DVT is especially dangerous because clots that form in the legs can travel to the Lungs (Pulmonary Embolism), Brain (Transient Ischemic Attacks, or strokes), and Heart (causing heart attacks). Compression stockings can be used to prevent blood from pooling, thereby reducing the risk of clot formation.
