Demystifying Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE): Understanding the Clots that Threaten
Within the intricate network of veins that crisscross our bodies, a silent danger can lurk – the formation of blood clots. These clots, known as deep vein thromboses (DVTs), can develop in the deep veins, typically in the lower extremities. If a fragment of a DVT breaks off and travels through the bloodstream to the lungs, it can lead to a life-threatening condition called pulmonary embolism (PE).
