The DVT Numbers are Staggering
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that usually occurs in the leg, most often on one side, although it can happen in other parts of the body. DVT 
afflicts over 380,000 people per year in the United States. If the blood clot dislodges, it can travel to the lungs and cause a blockage known as a pulmonary embolism (PE) or lung clot. Lung clots affect over 530,000 people a year and 300,000, or almost 1 out of 3, are fatal. Click on the map on the left to see DVT statistics for your state.
