More About Blood Clots and Clotting Disorders
According to the US Surgeon General the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism ranges between 350,000 to 600,000 per year with an estimated 100,000 deaths per year. Recent numbers from a study by Dr. John Heit from the Mayo Clinic suggest the numbers may be much higher. While the statistics may vary the numbers are staggering. NBCA is working every day to increase awareness about thrombosis and thrombophilia and help to Stop The Clot.
