Are You At Risk for Deep Vein Thrombosis?

Part of a clot may break off and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism (PE) and, possibly, death." Includes link to a September 2008 Surgeon General's call to action to prevent DVT, list of symptom, and links to related sites. From the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
