Who Gets Venous Thrombosis?
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), more than two million Americans are affected each year by venous thrombosis, potentially dangerous blood clots. The AHA and the American Public Health Association report that as many as 200,000 people will die each year from one of the two main types of venous thrombosis — a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a pulmonary embolism (PE).
