VTE Matters

Venous thromboembolism can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, race, or ethnicity

  • 1 in 4 people die of conditions caused by thrombosis
  • 55%-60% of blood clots occur within 90 days of hospital discharge
  • Up to 20% of cancer patients develop blood clots
  • VTE is the leading cause of indirect maternal death

Studies of patients who die unexpectedly of pulmonary embolism reveal that they complained of nagging symptoms often for weeks before death related to pulmonary embolism.

  • Forty percent of these patients had been seen by a physician in the weeks prior to their death2,1.
