The importance of early detection and management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in primary care
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition where a blood clot forms in the deep veins, usually in the legs. Left untreated, it can lead to life-threatening complications, such as a pulmonary embolism, which occurs when a clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs. Early detection and management of DVT are critical in primary care to prevent these complications and improve patient outcomes.
